Brandi, whom De Dominici says was present in the Eternal City at a young age (B. De Dominici, Vite de' pittori napoletani, Naples 1742, III, pp. 560-65) CONDITION REPORT Novecento reintelo. Small spots of restoration on the shepherd standing left, the herds, and the landscape. The painting is in good condition.
