Footnotes

Provenance
Purchased by the present owner's grandparents in the 1930s and thence by descent

We are grateful to Charles Beddington and Ralph Toledano who both believe these paintings to be fully autograph works by Marieschi (Toledano on the basis of photographs). Charles Beddington, who has inspected the paintings firsthand, has suggested that Francesco Zugno (circa 1708-1797) is responsible for the figures, which would suggest that they date from early on in Zugno's career.

A further version of the former capriccio of similar dimensions but with differences in the figures and other details is in a private American collection (see: R. Toledano, Michele Marieschi. L'opera completa, Milan, 1988, p. 132, C.20, ill. p. 48 and p. 132).
