專家說明

Sir Denis Mahon has kindly confirmed the attribution.
Characteristic of the drawings from the Casa Gennari in Cento are the fact they are laid down on canvas: the one hundred and fifty framed drawings by Guercino were put in stretchers with no protective glass, a common way to exhibit drawings in the 17th and 18th Centuries, Mahon and Turner, op. cit., pp. XIX-XX.
A counterproof of the present drawing is at Windsor Castle, D. Mahon and N. Turner, The Drawings of Guercino in the Collection of Her Majesty the Queen at Windsor Castle, Cambridge, 1989, no. 678.
