Lot Essay

See A. Tecce, Il Museo Pignatelli de Napoli, 1994, p. 101, inv. 467, for a similar example at the Villa Pignatelli. The villa was formerly the home of Rothschild family (1841-1867), then the residence of Governor Diego Aragona Pignatelli Cortes, whose widow willed to the property to the state. Also see Christie's, New York, 11 April 2007, lot 194 and 23 November 2010, lot 481 ($17,500) for similar examples.
