Brief note on the artist
Cesare Gennari (1637–1688), nephew of the renowned Guercino, was one of the most sensitive interpreters of the 17th-century Emilian tradition. His work is appreciated for its masterful use of light, graceful figures, and the harmonious balance between drama and softness. Paintings attributed to him or his circle are highly sought after in both private and institutional collections.

The painting is in excellent overall condition, with a warm and vibrant palette preserved across centuries. It measures 65 × 52 cm unframed. The frame shown in photos is not for sale: only the painting is included.
