拍品資料及來源
The present painting, published as Valentin by both Longhi and Cuzin (see Literature) is one of a number of versions of the composition, others being in a private collection, New York (formerly in the collection of Carlasten Guntreb, Germany), the Musée du Périgord, the Volpe Collection, Bologna, and sold Monte Carlo, Sotheby's, 20-22 February 1988, lot 17. Scholars agree that the composition would date from early in Valentin's career, when he had first moved to Rome and was working under Simon Vouet, circa 1620-25.
