Physically and emotionally drained, Taddeo returns home, represented four times in this continuous narrative. Exhausted and feverish, he falls asleep beside a river, dreaming of painted Roman palace facades. He awakes to a hallucination that the stones on the riverbank are painted like the facades of Polidoro, the artist he idolized. So powerful is the delusion that he fills his traveling sack with the most beautiful stones; at right, he continues on his way.

Curator Julian Brooks and artist Peter Zokosky describe this unusual drawing.
