Footnotes

This painting may be by the same hand as the Allegory at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, which is described as Venetian, circa 1530 (inv. 1948.17.1). The Juno and Callisto offered at Christie's South Kensington on 28 April 2016, lot 60, is also very close in type to the present work. Given the similarity in dimensions, they may even have initially been conceived as part of a series.

We are grateful to Dr Peter Humfrey for kindly suggesting the attribution.
