Note:
- This entry incorporates text from the catalog entry and uses the catalog description of the same item from the collection of the British Museum.
- The painting is no longer thought to be by Domenichino. Compare Agostino Carracci.
- Marquis de las Marismas del Guadalquivir was a Paris banker and art collector. The publication of his catalog didn't pursue a commercial outcome, and apparently, the circulation was small.
