Catalogue Note
For another example of this rare 'pencilled' style at Capodimonte, see a pair of dishes in the Luzzato collection, illustrated by Morazzoni/ Levy, Le Porcellane Italiane pl. 285 (b). The figure is taken from an engraving by Jacques Callot from the same series as those on a celebrated Chelsea bowl, sold at Sotheby's New York, 22nd April 1994, lot 23.
