First identified by di Pietro as after an antique model. Though originally catalogued as "nineteen separate sketches," this sheet was recognized by Susan Wegner as a compressed copy of part of an antique sarcophagus in the Villa Medici, Rome. It depicts the Judgment of Paris (repr. in P. P. Bober, Drawings after the Antique by Amico Aspertini [London, 1957], fig. 83). Other drawings after this relief are listed in ibid., pp. 68—69. Oberhuber thought the 含羞草研究室 sheet might be by a Flemish artist.
