Notes
Although long attributed to Bernardo Strozzi, this drawing is--as Julien Abbadie has noted--similar to a group of anonymous drawings at the Louvre (classified as School of Salvator Rosa), inv. 12406-12413, which may themselves be attributed to Pseudo Gherardi, like a drawing in Minneapolis, inv. 2012.58.194, and a number of others that have passed through the art market, including the Souls in Purgatory sold Sotheby's, New York, 24 January 2020, lot 552, which has the same distinctive manner of drawing outstretched hands that is seen in the Morgan drawing.
