It appears to be a training exercise as it is almost a traced copy of the woodcut with black pen lines matching the line block, but freehand brown washes that reproduce the effect of the two tone blocks, and chalk to mimic the blank paper used by Casolani to create highlights. It may have been made as a study in creating tonal effects using ink washes and white chalk, by copying the light-dark (chiaroscuro) effects in the print."},"onview":{"label":"Public Access","value":"0"},"title":{"label":"Title","value":"Virgin and Child with Young St John the Baptist"},"people":{"label":"Artist / Maker / Culture","value":["Andrea Andreani","Alessandro Casolani"]},"classifications":{"label":"Classification(s)","value":["Art / Drawings"]},"beginDate":{"label":"Begin Date","value":"1650"},"node":{"label":"Node","value":"Heritage Malta"},"primaryMaker":{"label":"Primary Maker","value":"Andrea Andreani"},"textEntriesObjecttype":{"label":"Object Type","value":["Drawing"]},"textEntriesMaterial":{"label":"Material","value":["Pen and brown ink with white chalk heightening on brown prepared laid paper with foolscap watermark"]},"primaryMedia":{"label":"PrimaryMedia","value":"/internal/media/dispatcher/13959/full"},"provenance":{"label":"Provenance","value":"Collector's Mark: 'JWH' (Lugt L.1555c), unidentified, 18th century\r\nPurchased for the Museum in 1960"},"textEntriesTechnique":{"label":"Technique","value":["Drawing"]},"displayDate":{"label":"Date","value":"1650-1695"},"altNums":{"label":"Alternate ID Numbers","value":["32139-40","52759","HMZA 00122"]},"pubreferences":{"label":"Published References","value":"M.A.R.
