專家說明

An ambiguous inscription on the reverse of the canvas suggests that the sitter might be Franz Pfyffer von Altishofen and that this work was in the possession of Francesco Corragioni d'Orelli, a doctor from Locarno, who had moved his family to Lucerne in 1706, where his descendants continued to exercise the medical profession throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
