- Mahoney links this drawing with Rosa's drawing in the Uffizi, Florence, with the same subject and looking in the same direction, see M. Mahoney, 'The Drawings of Salvator Rosa', New York, 1977, I, pp.355, No. 30.14; a distant connection can also be found with Rosa's etching of a 'Praying penitent in a wilderness' (Wallace 2, not in Bartsch).
