Catalogue Note
The artist who made this interesting academy study seems to have been strongly influenced by Andrea Sacchi, but must also have known the work of Pietro da Cortona and Ciro Ferri. It is most probably the work of a Roman artist active around, or slightly before, the middle of the seventeenth century.
