"A large number of drawings is associated with the name Allegrini.  These fall into two main categories: figure-compositions, mostly in delicate pen or pen and wash, treated in a calligraphic, somewhat superficial and at times almost abstract style; and a more robustly handled group, mainly in red chalk, in which can be detected parallels not only with the Cavaliere d'Arpino but also with Pietro da Cortona and Guercino.  Voss, the first critic to discuss them [in 1924] noted the distinction between the two types, but attributed both to Francesco Allegrini, on the strength of the connection of a few of the drawings with paintings certainly by him.  Röttgen has [more recently] argued that the two groups are the work of different hands, and that the more old-fashioned and 'mannerist' calligraphic pen drawings are not by Francesco [1624-1679] but by his father Flaminio [1587-1663]."
