Note:

The recto of this drawing is a particularly free and sketchy example of Pozzoserato’s pen and ink landscape drawing. In a fantastical setting, framed by a mountainside to the left of the sheet, an angel appears to a group of diminutive shepherds who look upward in wonder. On the verso of the sheet is another imaginary landscape, with an imposing settlement to the rear, flanked by tall mountains on either side.
