Specialist note

This picture relates closely to a painting of two fishmongers in the collection of Silvano Lodi, Campione d'Italia, probably produced by Bartolomeo Passerotti's studio (A. Ghirardi, Passerotti, Rimini, 1990, p. 238, fig. 65a). Both works reproduce in part Passerotti's larger-scale canvas of a fishmonger's in the Galleria Nazionale in Palazzo Barberini, Rome (op. cit. pp. 237-238, fig. 65).
