After Guido Reni

After the composition known of which a version is in the Galleria Corsini, Rome. Traditionally identified as a portrait of Beatrice Cenci, the attribution to Reni was challenged by the late Dr. Stephen Pepper, who suggested that the composition derives from a prototype by Sirani influenced by Reni and his studio (Guido Reni, Oxford, 1984, p. 304, no. C6).
