We are grateful to Anna Ottani Cavina for confirming the attribution to Giani on the basis of a photograph. She dates the work to about 1812/13 and relates it to a group of drawings by him for the decoration of a villa in Montmorency, France. Giani was commissioned to decorate the villa by Count Antonio Aldini (1755-1826), then Secretary of State for the Kingdom of Italy. For other drawings from this period see A. Ottani Canvini, Felice Giani (1758-1823) e la cultura di fine secolo / Anna Ottani Cavina, 1999, II, pp. 552-553, nos. 757-759.
