Description: | Although both men in this painting are bald, one is pointing in fun to the other's bald head whilst he is having nails cut by the man. The painting bore the title when acquired of 'The Chiropodist'. The painting was once attributed to the seventeenth-century Spanish artist Jusepe de Ribera but it is now thought to be by a Neapolitan artist and dated about 1680. It could also be a later copy of this period. | Subjects: | figure; everyday life | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Italian (Neapolitan) School Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to Ribera, Jusepe de (Spanish painter and printmaker, baptized in 1591, died 1652, active in Italy) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8327... | Go to resource |
