We are grateful to Prof Enrique Valdivieso for confirming the authenticity of this painting by Claudio Coello, which he had dated to the artist’s early phase circa 1665 – 1670 (written communication): ’... la pintura de Claudio Coello pertenece perfectamente a este artista siendo considerarla de epoca juvenil, hacia 1665- 1670’. Known for his religious subjects, he was the most important painter in Madrid from the last generation of the 17th century.
