Description
Etching, circa 1620-30, without printing details.
A magnific impression, with a good plate tone, printed on contemporary laid paper, trimmed to the platemark, light abrasion on verso, otherwise very good condition.
Ascribed by Bartsch to the school of Guido Reni; we believe there are significant stylistic affinities with the hand of Giovanni Andrea Sirani.
Unknown collector's mark on verso.

|
Father of Elisabetta Sirani, Giovanni Andrea trained initially with Giacomo Cavedone, then worked in the studio with Guido ReniPupil and became his principal assistant. Adherence to formal models of Guido Reni had entailed the risk of the dissolution of his painting in the areas of undifferentiated culture of Reni, hence perhaps the lack of information from the historiography on its activities, its production and its clients. He continued to work until the death of his daughter Elizabeth, in 1665.
