Pen and brown ink, grey wash,Over black chalk, 19.5 x 25.9 cm

Signed: “Flaminio Minozzi 1810”

Mainly known for his many architectural drawings, the present sheet is a rare example of his later works, which must have served as a preparatory study for an etching of a title-page. A similar such drawing by Flaminio Minozzi was in a private collection in Belgium. In that drawing the same symbols of war were present, but instead of a central circle with the portrait, there is a empty square, probably with the intention of entering a text to serve as a title-page.
