Workshop of Andrea del VERROCCHIO Jabach III Drapery Study for a Standing Figure Distemper on linen About 1473–1477 It seems to have been customary in Verrocchio’s workshop to produce painted studies of draped clay or wax models intended for the composition of sculptures. This figure resembles a mirror image of the figure of Christ in the sculpture of Christ and SaintThomas.
