A woman appears to be feeding a Baroque ornamental tripod brazier with her right hand while gathering up her garments with her left.
Tentatively Italian School as this may have been part (Lot 49?) a sale of Italian drawings at Christie's 14 July 1859 that also included works by the Carracci brothers, Carlo Maratta (Maratti),Lanfranco, Albano (Francesco Albani?), Rubens, Salvator Rosa, and others, and it also looks like a study like that of "Dido's Sacrifice To Juno" by Giovanni Francesco Romanelli (Italian, 1610-1662) .
