Lot Essay

Another version of this previously unrecorded picture by Nicola Maria Rossi, a brilliant pupil of Francesco Solimena, is published by N. Spinosa, Pittura napoletana del Settecento dal Barocco al Rococó, p. 244, no. 104, pl. 120, of which there is also a prototype in Dresden by Francesco Solimena. The present picture can be dated to circa 1740.

We are grateful to Professor Riccardo Lattuda for proposing the attribution on the basis of photographs and for his assistance in the cataloguing of this lot.
