WORKSHOP OF ANDREA SACCHI | The angel appearing to Hagar and Ishmael

We are grateful to both Dr. Ann Sutherland Harris and Dr. Erich Schleier for endorsing the attribution to the workshop of Andrea Sacchi following inspection of images. Five autograph versions and two workshop variants are recorded in Harris' catalogue raisonné; the prime version, octagonal in format, was executed for Sacchi's principal patron Cardinal Antonio Barberini, and is today in the National Museum of Wales, Cardiff.(1)
