From Gibbons, “Catalogue of Italian Drawings…”: as Guercino School. (See reference Bib. 4362);

\r\n

From Turner review in Art Bulletin: As Denis Mahon has kindly pointed out, this is an autograph study by Guercino for the figure of Mucius Scaevola in Guercino’s painting “Mucius Schaevola Thrusting his Hand into the Flames in the Presence of Kind Lars Porsenna”, in the Durazzo-Pallavicini Collection, Genoa (see P. Torriti, “La Galleria del Palazzo Durazzo-Pallavicini”, Genoa, 1967, fig. 202). (See reference Bib. 2659);

\r\n

From Mahon and N. Turner, “Drawings of Guercino…”: mentioned under cat. no. 138, reaffirming it as an autograph drawing, and identifying its provenance as from the Casa Gennari.” (See reference Bib. 4534);
