Often confused with works by Giulio Benso (1592-1668), only a few drawings can be attributed to Cappellino, including two sheets in Darmstadt, (inv. AE1704 & inv. AE1704; P. Märker, Genueser Zeichnungen des 16. bis 18 Jahrhunderts im Hessischen Landesmuseum Darmstadt, 1990, Darmstadt, nos. 31 and 32, ill.) comparable in the handling with the combined use of wash and hatchings to create areas of shadow.
The rare subject of Saint Francis cutting Saint Clare’s hair at the altar, before she founded the Order of the Poor Clares, is also treated in a 16th Century Italian drawing in the British Museum, London (inv. 1946,0713.1538). Her saintly attribute, the monstrance, is shown prominently on the altar in the present drawing.
