Specialist note

We are grateful to Professor Francesco Petrucci for confirming the attribution on the basis of photographs. The composition derives from the oval portrait in the collection of the Earl of Sandwich at Mapperton House, Dorset (see F. Petrucci, Ferdinand Voet 1639-1689, detto Ferdinando de' Ritratti, Rome, 2005, p. 193, no. 129a, fig. 8).
