Leonardo di Giovanni Buonafé and Another Carthusian Monk (verso)
by PONTORMO, Jacopo, Red chalk, 284 x 202 mm
The verso of Pontormo’s powerful self-portrait represents two Carthusian monks, the one on the left is probably the prior of the charterhouse of Galuzzo, Leonardo di Giovanni Buonaf�. The drawing is a study for the monks in the background of Pontormo’s Supper at Emmaus, painted for the Carthusian monastery at Galuzzo.
