Note du spécialiste

Known to be active in Naples from 1590, Corenzio was a prolific artist who executed many alterpieces and fresco cycles in Naples' churches and he was one of the first Neapolitan artists to leave a large number of drawings. The present drawing, with Corenzio's typical spirited penwork, seems not to be connected to any known paintings by the artist.
