拍品专文

The picture is traditionally dated to the second decade of the eighteenth century. The similarity in style, size and iconography of this picture to two others suggests that it formed part of a series depicting the everyday life in a Capuchin Monastery. One of these, The Atonement Sermon, was sold at Sotheby's, London, 3 July 1997, lot 71 (67,500; see also, L. Muti and D. de Sarno Prigano, op. cit., nos. 344 and 402, figs. 245-6.)

Fausta Franchini Guelfi (loc. cit.) identified this picture as being in the collection of the prominent banker Gottfried Winkler (1731-1795). His renowned collection in Leipzig, about three hundred drawings from which are now in the Albertina in Vienna, also contained another picture by Magnasco, Nuns spinning at a Wheel (F.W. Kreukhauf, op. cit., no. 45).
