Giovanni Battista Salvi, called Sassoferrato (Sassoferrato 1609-1685 Rome)

We are grateful to Dr. François Macé de Lépinay for confirming the attribution on the basis of photographs and for his assistance in cataloguing this lot. Dr. de Lépinay notes that this is the only autograph example of this composition known to him, which derives from the Holy Family by Pompeo Cesura in the Wallace Collection, London.
