Summary Note
The portrait of Annibale Carracci carries the date of 1646. Annibale Carracci made the drawings of artisans and street-criers of Bologna in the 1580s. Engravings of them were published in Rome in 1646 (Diverse Figure ... Da Annibale Carracci Intagliate ... da Simone Guilino Parigino) and in 1660 (Di Bologna, L'Arti Per Via D'Anibal. Caraci, Disegnate, intagliate ... Da Gioseppe Ma: Mittelli).
One of the drawings survives at the National Gallery, Edinburgh.
