The sequence follows the published museum, sale, and catalogue record in this investigation. Gaps and uncertain transfers are marked as such.

Notes

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

Published documentation for this file is thin. Catalogue numbers, exhibitions and bibliography are given only where the source recorded them.

This investigation reproduces an almost identical image published under Lanthemann’s name.

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