Bolognese School, 17th century- Head study of a bearded old man
拍品描述：
Bolognese School,
17th century-
Head study of a bearded old man;
oil on canvas, 39.1 x 25.3 cm.
Provenance:
Private Collection, UK.
Note:
This impressive full-scale 'ad vivum' study may be by a North Italian artist, probably working in Bologna in the 1580s. The subject recalls the series of informal portrait sketches made by Annibale Carracci (1560-1609) and his followers. The tenebrist style of the present work is furthermore redolent of the Venetian painters Jacopo Tintoretto (1519-1594) and Jacopo Bassano (c.1510-1592).
It may be noted that a fairly similar head type, with differences in the hair, painted in an almost monochrome palette and focused on the careworn figure of Saint Joseph, is in the background of Annibale Carracci’s 'Holy Family with the Infant Saint John the Baptist and Saint Elizabeth', in the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Nantes (no.9043) (see exh. cat., Bologna, September 2006-January 2007; Rome, January-May 2007, Annibale Carracci, pp.130-131, p.133, note 42.
