Partially squared, the sheet is a study of the figure of Tiresias for the painting of the same name, painted by Colacicchi in his studio at the Academy when he was still a teacher. The artist recalls that his students `were coming into the studio to watch me work. But that time, the curiosity of the female pupils, in particular, I suspect, went more to the beautiful boy who, with great grace and patience, continually repeated the difficult and tiring gesture of despair of my Tiresias'.
