Catalogue Note

The portrait within the Allegory of Painting is almost certainly intended as a self-portrait of the artist. To compare the likeness of the sitter, see Trevisani's self-portrait listed by DiFederico as in the collection of Graf von Schonborn, Schloß Weissenstein, Pommersfelden (reproduced in F.R. DiFederico, Francesco Trevisani, Washington 1977, p. 74, cat. no. P7, plate 101).
