Lot Essay

The present picture was published by de Beruete and Gensel as an early work by Velázquez, circa 1618-20, an attribution which was re-affirmed by Mayer after Allende-Salazar's ascription of it to Zurbarán. López-Rey regarded it as 'closer to Zurbarán's manner than to Velázquez's' and it was first related to Herrera in Martínez Ripoll's monograph of 1978, where a date of circa 1630 is proposed
