Related to one of the seated onlookers in Michetti's painting, The Daughter of Jorio of 1895, in the Palazzo della Provincia in Pescara. The model was the artist's friend, the painter and musician Paolo De Cecco.
After Michetti painted The Daughter of Jorio, the subject was adapted by d’Annunzio into the play La figlia di Iorio (1903). The play, which takes place in the Abruzzo and contains dialogue in the Abruzzese dialect as well as local proverbs and rhymes, tells the story of a love between an outcast girl, accused of being a witch, and the shepherd Aligi, who is betrothed to a woman he does not love.
The present sheet would appear to be an unused or initial study for the head of the second man from the left in the finished painting of The Daughter of Jorio, for whom the model was the painter and musician Paolo De Cecco, another member of Michetti’s circle at the Conventino. A pen and ink study for the grisaille is in the Accademia di Belle Arti in Naples.
