Guido Reni (Bologna 1575-Bologna 1642)
903396.jpg c.1620-30
-
A drawing of the head of a youth, looking down to the left. A study for Reni's painting of Sacred and Profane Love in the Galleria Spinola, Genoa, of uncertain date (S. Pepper, Guido Reni, 1984, no. 88, as c.1622-23). The drawing has been badly damaged by exposure to light, and was presumably framed and hung for many years early in its history.
Provenance
Listed in George III’s Inventory A, c.1800-20: p. 80, ‘Guido &c. Tom. 4’, among '13 Heads by Various Scholars of Guido’.
