Footnotes

Provenance
Sale, Sotheby's, New York, 28 January 1999, lot 453

We are grateful to Prof. Nicola Spinosa who has confirmed the attribution to Diano on the basis of a colour photograph and for suggesting a date of the late 1770s or early 1780s. The gold arabesque design around the painting is most probably by a different painter specialising in this discipline such as Gaetano Magri who decorated the royal palace of Caserta.
