Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564)
Capitals; small studies of figures (verso). Ca. 1503-04. Pen and brown ink, 18.5 x 18.1 cm. The lines of poetry at lower left can be translated as: 'One person passes many years in happiness, and in a single fleeting hour is brought to misery and grief; another shines brightly because of famous or ancient lineage, and in a single moment loses all lustre./ Nothing mutable exists under the sun which death does not conquer and fortune change.'
