Specialist note

A new addition to the catalogue of Gaulli, this sheet relates to a drawing of the same subject in the Musée des Beaux-Arts, Rennes (F. Petrucci, Baciccio. Giovan Francesco Gaulli, 1639-1709, Rome, 2009, no. D52, ill.) and may possibly be an early study for a painting in a private collection in Genoa (op. cit., no. D53, ill.). We thank Francesco Petrucci for confirming the attribution of the drawing based on a digital photograph.
