Hercules Brabazon Brabazon (1821-1906)

SIGNED WITH INITIALS AND INSCRIBED 'NAPOLI MUSEO'

INDIRECTLY, THIS IS A SOUVENIR OF VELAZQUEZ'S PAINTING, LOS BORRACHOS (THE TOPERS), PAINTED IN 1626-28. THOUGH BRABAZON SAW AND COPIED THE ORIGINAL, WHICH IS IN THE PRADO, IN MADRID, HIS DRAWING HERE, OF THE THREE HEADS TO THE RIGHT OF BACCHUS, WAS MADE FROM A VERY GOOD PASTEL COPY OF VELAZQUEZ'S PAINTING IN THE MUSEO DI CAPODIMONTE, IN NAPLES.
