The present lot is a version, with minor differences, of Do's painting in the Real Academia de San Fernando, Madrid (see N. Spinosa, La Pittura Napoletana del '600, 1984, fig. 311). The present work and that in the Real Academia appear in turn to be influenced by Jusepe de Ribera's painting in the Monasterio de San Lorenzo, El Escorial previously given by Spinosa to Ribera and Do (ibid, fig. 309) but now given fully to Ribera (see the catalogue of the exhibition, Jusepe da Ribera, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Sept. 18-Nov. 29, 1992, pp. 144-5, no. 58, illustrated)
We are grateful to Professor Nicola Spinosa for confirming the attribution
