Some drawings relate to the Sistine frescoes, the Last Judgement, and the two paintings in the Pauline Chapel, others are studies for the David, the Medici Chapel and the Tomb of Pope Julius II. Other sheets again are independent, such as the presentation drawings for for Cavalieri and Vittoria Colonna, compositions and the Crucifixions and other religious compositions from his later period.
