DescriptionDescription: No watermark. Inscribed at lower left in pen and brown ink: "agamemnon ammazza il cervo de Diana" The tentative attribution to Luca Giordano by Julien Stock, seems reasonable. The sheet can be compared with a drawing in the Louvre, "Le donne que frustano un uomo" which has the same loose and elegant line and demonstrates the artist´s free handling of the wash.
