PROPERTY FROM A SPANISH PRIVATE COLLECTION
Another version of this composition, sold Christie's, London, 9 December 1994, lot 336 (as Follower of Girolamo Mazzola Bedoli), is now considered an autograph work by Bernardino Gatti, called Il Sojaro. The principle differences between the two works lie in the drapery, background landscape and the inclusion here of the figure of St. Joseph behind St. Catherine.
