Lot Essay

The composition is an adaptation of Reni's Salome with the Head of the Baptist in the Corsini Gallery, Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Antica, Rome, the subject matter having been altered to a more decorative taste with the substitution of a jewelery box for the Saint's head, and the addition of the seascape beyond.
