Literature

E. Cropper, Pietro Testa 1612-1650: Prints and Drawings, Aldershot, 1988, p. 105, under no. 53, footnote 3, with incorrect dimensions, as 'the attribution of the canvas [to Testa] ... remains highly questionable'.

H. Brigstocke, 'Pietro Testa. Cambridge, Mass, Fogg Art Museum', The Burlington Magazine, exhibition review, CXXXI, no. 1031, February 1989, p. 177, fig. 83, as 'a remarkable painting here attributed to Pietro Testa ... The quality of execution is remarkably high: indeed the group of figures carrying Sinorix is as fine as anything Testa painted ... obviously a late work reflecting some disturbing presentiment by the artist'.

L. Montagnoli, 'Sinorice', Pietro Testa e la nemica fortuna: Un artista filosofo (1612-1650) tra Lucca e Roma, Rome, 2014, pp. 306 and 310, under no. VI.1, footnote 15, as 'Pietro Testa'.
