Notes

This investigation marks the work as not located in the D’Atri papers.

This investigation records three published certificates: one by the widow of Ambrogio Ceroni stating that the canvas stood in Ceroni’s files as an original; one by Joseph Lanthemann; and one by Jeanne Modigliani. Those statements are given here as published documents, not as an independent finding.

This investigation records the same sitter as two canvases dated 1918 on this investigation (girl with pigtails; girl with cap).

The original documentation assembled for this investigation marked several fields as still being checked. The facts above are those already published; where sources disagree, both readings are given.
