These works made part of the large collection shipped from Rome to Haarlem in the Netherlands in 1790, where they have remained ever since at Teylers Museum. Relatively few drawings by Salvator Rosa (1615-1673) are to be found outside Italy even today. This beautiful group was probably acquired in Rome – and credibly from the artist himself – by the expatriate Queen Christina of Sweden (1626-1689) during the second half of the seventeenth century.
