專家說明
The study on the recto of this drawing can be related to three paintings: one in the church of San Pietro in Fiesso, one in the collections of the city of Bologna, and one recorded on the Milanese art market (Riccòmini, op. cit., p. 85, under no. 95.3, figs. 5, 6, 7). For his assistance in writing this note, we are grateful to Marco Riccòmini, who suggested Creti's inscription ‘Lapis’ may refer to lapis lazuli, the blue pigment which he may have used in the sky of the composition of these paintings.
