The Judgment of Solomon

Thepainting is, in fact, a preparatory study for The Judgment of Solomon, which is part ofthe collections of the Opera Pia dei Poveri Vergognosi in Bologna.The correct attribution ofthe aforementioned work to Giuseppe Varotti is relatively recent, as, until the1935 exhibition on 18th-century Bologna, it was still attributed to ErcoleGraziani (1688–1765).
