This drawing shows four ancient gods, Neptune, Mars, Minerva and Flora. They are represented by using the main characteristics and techniques of the artist Parmigianino to whom it was attributed. Later some different suggestions have clearly shown that the drawing dates back to the 18th century. (A.Bigi Iotti, La Linea Continua 2016)
