Vouillement (see S. Pepper, Guido Reni, A Complete Catalogue of his Works , Oxford, 1984, p. 219, cat. 2, ill. pl. 22). The composition differs from the engraving, however, in its incorporation of the addition of the putto drawing back the drapery. For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
