Specialist note

We are grateful to Professor Nicola Spinosa, who has confirmed the attribution on the basis of photographs, and who has suggested that it is an early work by the artist, datable to c. 1680 (written communication, 8 September 2016). Professor Spinosa will include the present work in his forthcoming monograph on Solimena.
