1611 - 1669 Rome
Christ and the woman of Samaria at the well
 
Etching.
Without signature.
21.1 x 26.6 cm
Watermark; small crown
 
Literature: Bartsch XIX (as Pier Francesco Mola), TIB 007 S 1 (VII) (Giovane)
 
Excellent proof like impression with plate tone. Good condition.
The design derives from Mola. The print was always ascribed to him or Carlo Maratta
until a unique second state was found with the inscription “P. Mola F./Francesco Giovani Sculp”.
In later states we find the addresses of Maratta and Frey.
In this first state the print is exceptional rare.
