Lot Essay

Giuseppe Nogari began his training with Antonio Balestra and later joined Giovanni Battista Piazzetta's workshop. Perhaps best known for his portraits, Nogari produced many head studies and often re-used the faces and archetypes in his work. A similar painting, last recorded on the London art market in 1974, shows a child of the same facial type (quite possibly the same model) though they wear different clothing and hold a doughnut rather than a trumpet (fig. 1). Nogari achieved great success in his lifetime and spent the latter part of his career in Turin, decorating the Royal Palace there for the House of Savoy.
