Specialist note

The present painting and its pendant (New Haven, Yale University Art Gallery), have traditionally been ascribed to Peruzzini's well-known Genoese collaborator Alessandro Magnasco, but were recognized in 1996 as works by Peruzzini by Laura Muti, who has suggested the staffage was painted by a collaborator.
