• Resumen

  • The writer discusses Spanish-born Neapolitan painter Jusepe de Ribera's drawn caricature Grotesque Head of a Bearded Man, with Eyes and Fur of a Dog or Monkey, which is in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford. At the Ashmolean, the drawing is classified as “Indeterminate School,” but the traditional attribution is probably correct, a view supported by its closeness in handling to Grotesque Head of a Smiling Black Man, which has now been widely accepted as Ribera.
