References note

R. Weigel, Die Werke der Maler in ihren Handzeichnungen, Leipzig: R. Weigel, 1865, p. 279, no, 3300, as after Guercino ("Ein Jüngling, von einem anderen unterstützt, wird von einem Alten am Arme operirt. Rothstein. S. Mulinari sc. H. 14" 3"', Br. 10" 5"' Scacciati, Disegni originali 100."). Weigel's identification of the series as Scacciati, Disegni originali, issued in 1766, is inconsistent with the date 1796 on the present engraving
