CATALOGUE OF THE WORKS

The Fall of Phaeton, in the gallery of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, of which Scannelli speaks, but it is mentioned by no one else[1].

St. Catherine with a palm-branch, in the gallery of the Duke of Modena[2].

The head of a young man armed, in the same collection, very graceful, but inferior to the St. Catherine[3].

A portrait of the Queen of Naples, which was in the Aldobrandini gallery, but afterwards to be found in a chamber of portraits in the Panfili palace. It is not equal in colouring to the Dispute of Jesus with the Doctors[4].

A portrait in profile of the Dutchess of Milan, mentioned by Richardson as being in a chamber leading to the Ambrosian library[5].

A beautiful figure of the Virgin, half length, in the palace of Vaprio. It is of a gigantic size, for the head of the Virgin is six common palms in size, and that of the Divine Infant four in circumference. Della Valle speaks of having seen this in the year 1791, and says he is not ignorant that tradition ascribes this Madonna to Bramante, notwithstanding which he gives it to Leonardo[6].

A laughing Pomona with three veils, commended by Lomazzo. It was done for Francis I. King of France[7].

The portrait of Cecilia Gallarani, mentioned by
