Attributed to Alessandro Tiarini (Bologna 1577-Bologna 1668)
The head of a child 1600-50
-
A drawing of the head of a child, full face. The drawing comes from the Reni volumes; Kurz catalogued it simply among the anonymous Bolognese. Andrea Czere (note on mount and correspondence, 1992) proposed an attribution to Tiarini, which seems sound. On the verso, visible in transmitted light, an ink drawing of an arm and hand.
Provenance
Listed in George III’s Inventory A, c.1800-20: p. 79, ‘Teste di Guido. Tom. 1’, among ’51 Heads, as Studies for various Pictures amongst which are some exceeding fine Drawings as large as life, all by Guido Rheni, Bolognese’.
