Specialist note
The old, crossed out, inscription on the drawing refers it to the Florentine painter Francesco Curradi (1570-1661). Later on, the sheet was offered on the market as the work of the Venetian Carlo Caliari (1570-1596), Paolo Veronese’s youngest son. In spite the uncertainty of the attribution the composition is powerful and betrays the hand of an accomplished artist.
