This oil on canvas by Alessandro Turchi, dated 1620 and housed at the Castelvecchio Museum in Verona, was produced during a period of mature productivity in Rome when the artist was fully established as one of the city's leading painters of devotional and mythological subjects. The 1620 date places it between two documented Borghese works (the 1617 Lamentation and Raising of Lazarus) and the later Castelvecchio holdings, suggesting continued dual production for Roman and Veronese audiences. Without a confirmed title, the work contributes to the documentary record of Turchi's output in the crucial years of his Roman career's peak. Its presence in the Castelvecchio suggests either direct commission from a Veronese institution or return through later collection redistribution. Stylistic features consistent with 1620 would include the fully developed smooth technique, assured compositional control, and the refined palette of his mature period.

Oil on canvas with technical characteristics consistent with Turchi's mature Roman production: polished surface, controlled chiaroscuro less dramatic than the Caravaggist mainstream, warm palette with careful tonal gradation. The 1620 date suggests confident, assured execution at the height of his powers.
