Rest on the Flight into Egypt

Supposed by scholars to be Orazio Gentileschi copying his own composition which is illustrated here in the Louvre version; it is difficult to know which is the one recorded in van der Doort. Another possibility is that Orazio was copying a Virgin, Child and Jospeh not by his hand, perhaps by an older master. It could even refer to the work in the previous entry by Cambiaso

Van der Doort c.1639
