After Guercino (Cento 1591-Bologna 1666)
A friar, possibly St Anthony of Padua, looking upwards c. 1700-50
-
An offset of a drawing of a friar, half length, with his body facing the spectator but with his head turned towards the right. He holds his hands to his breast. This is possibly derived from a study for the altarpiece of St Anthony of Padua kneeling before the Infant Christ, San Giovanni in Persiceto, Collegiata. For a related offset, which resembles in reverse the same altarpiece, see RCIN 903053.
Provenance
Benedetto and Cesare Gennari; from whose descendants purchased by Richard Dalton for George III, c.1758-63; first recorded in a Royal Collection inventory of c.1800-1820 (Inv.A, p.72)
