Footnotes

PROVENANCE:
The Property of a Private European Collector

Another version of the present painting, ascribed to Ribera, is now in the Real Monasterio de San Lorenzo, El Escorial (see: A. E. Perez Sanchez and N. Spinosa, L'Opera Completa del Ribera (Cleveland, 1981), cat. no. 394). Given that the majority of Ribera's subjects were copied on numerous occasions, it is highly unusual to find only two known versions of the present composition.
