The sitter was a celebrated and widely travelled composer from Naples. He was active in many Italian cities and went as far as Vienna and later Stuttgart, where he was Kapellmeister to Duke Karl Eugen of Württemberg (1728-93). We are grateful to Prof. Nicola Spinosa for identifying this portrait as the work of Carlo Amalfi upon inspection of images.
