Notes

This is probably a study of one of the two trophy columns from the Uffizi, Florence, which were carved with trophy reliefs on four sides (see Adam vol.26/112). The columns were removed from Rome to Florence in 1588 and in the eighteenth century were set up at the entrance to the Uffizi Gallery (see P. Bober and R. Rubinstein, Renaissance Artists and Antique Sculpture, Oxford, 1986, p.206).
