拍品專文

Nicholas Turner was the first to attribute this drawing to Algardi, and Jennifer Montagu later confirmed the attribution.
The position of the Virgin is very close to that of the Virgin on a plaque by the artist of the Rest on the Flight into Egypt, known through different versions, one of which is in the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge (fig. 1), Montagu, op. cit., II, no. 4.C.2, pl. 189.
