( x ), Drawings, Giovanni Angelo Canini (Italian, Rome 1615–1666 Rome), The traditional attribution to Canini is not implausible, for the artist made a specialty of drawn copies of classical antiquities and his manner of articulating some anatomical details such as the hands of the child are not dissimilar to his prepartory drawings for paintings
