S. con molte figure è un bozzo del detto Spagnuolo, che lo intagliò ancora in Rame [by Mattioli]") OR Signor Foresti, Bologna, before 1710 (Crespi's son Luigi, writing in a letter of February 11, 1751 to the collector Giovanni Bottari, to whom he had just sent an example of Mattioli's etching, mentions that the etching reproduces a canvas painted for Signor Foresti, a well-to-do citizen of Bologna (Bottari-Ticozzi, 1822, IV, p.366, no.CLIV): "Troverà in oltre la carta del Risurrezione, da lui [G. M. Crespi] pure intagliata da altro suo quadro dipinto per il Signor Foresti benestante qui di Bologna."] Possibly Alexander Fraser Tytler, Lord Woodhouselee (1747-1813), Midlothian, County Edinburgh, Scotland; by descent to (?)
