Inscriptions bears traces of a signature (see catalogue note)
Notes "The cartellino at the lower right, on which the signature is hardly visible in natural light, was found upon examination with infra-red light to bear traces of an original signature (Fig. 1). Exactly what caused the signature to become nearly invisible in natural light has not been explained (other than the restorer's theory that it was bound to the rest of the painting in a different medium, which may have reacted differently to light or cleaning solvents)."
