介绍（中）	这让人想起了一座古罗马雕塑，这幅引人注目的女性头像被认为是安妮巴勒·卡拉奇（Annibale Carracci）的作品，她也有其他类似的画作。尽管在Annibale的任何画作中都没有发现这样的人物，但这种古典化、理想化的面部类型让人想起了他在罗马法尔内塞宫的壁画。（左下角的注释中记录了对Annibale的堂兄和早期合作者Ludovico Carracci的早期归因，这是不太可信的。）规模和技术表明，这幅作品可能是一幅漫画，是对完成作品中相应细节的全面研究。有可能，这个人物定义不清的头饰是一个头巾，在这种情况下，她和附近挂着的画中的其他一些女性主体一样，可能是一位女同胞或古代女先知头部是用一种精致大气的技术绘制的，尽管大胆阴影的单个笔画在很大程度上是明显的，而且色调的无缝渲染被校准为从远处观看，就像大多数动画片一样，尤其是壁画。这名女性的头部类型可以广泛地与Annibale和Agostino的壁画周期中的例子有关，可以追溯到1595-1602年（Agostino去世前）。然而，无论是绘画的高超质量还是人物的心理存在，都让人很容易将这幅漫画片段归因于安妮贝尔本人。
介绍（英）	Reminiscent of an ancient Roman sculpture, this arresting depiction of a monumental female head has been attributed on sound grounds to Annibale Carracci, by whom other similar drawings are known. Although no such figure is found in any of Annibale's paintings, the classicizing, idealized facial type recalls his frescoes in the Palazzo Farnese in Rome. (An earlier attribution to Annibale's older cousin and early collaborator, Ludovico Carracci, recorded in the annotation at lower left, is less plausible.) The scale and technique suggest that the work may be a cartoon, a full-scale study for a corresponding detail in a finished work. It is possible that the figure's ill-defined headdress is meant to be a turban, in which case she-like some of the other female subjects represented in drawings hanging nearby-may be a sibyl or ancient prophetess. The head is drawn in an exquisitely atmospheric technique, even though the individual strokes of the bold hatching are largely evident, and the seamless rendering of tone is calibrated to be viewed from a distance, as is true of most cartoons, especially those for frescoes. The woman's head type can broadly be related to examples in fresco cycles by both Annibale and Agostino, and could date about 1595-1602 (before Agostino's death). Both the superb quality of the drawing and the psychological presence of the figure, however, make it tempting to attribute this cartoon fragment to Annibale himself.
