## Commentary

Schoolmistress with Her Pupils c. 1525 Red chalk, 173 x 277 mm British Museum, London The Lombard heritage of Polidoro can be discerned in his landscape studies and many drawings of genre scenes, all executed in red chalk, a medium favoured by Leonardo and his Lombard followers. Polidoro took up a broad range of subjects in his genre drawings. This sheet shows a schoolmistress with her pupil \(recto\) while on the verso a group of figures holding books can be seen.
