Nicolas Régnier (Maubeuge 1591 - Venice 1667) attributed
Roman Charity
Oil on canvas
134 x 93 cm
The artwork derives from versions by Bartolomeo Manfredi, with whom Régnier was in contact. One is conserved in the Uffizi, and the other, the most similar, can be found in the Zeri Photo Library (form 46511). The face of the young girl in our artwork is unmistakably reminiscent of the female effigies of the French Caravaggist Nicolas Regnier, who portrayed the beautiful four daughters on these occasions, as shown in the face of the painting Pandora or The Roman Charity in the Galleria Estense in Modena.
