Specialist note

Although it bears an old attribution to Pedro Orrente (1580-1645), this drawing can't be connected to any known composition by the artist and differs stylistically from the few known drawings by him.

We are grateful to Dr. Zahira Véliz and Benito Navarrete Prieto for their assistance in cataloguing this drawing.
