Christ and the Adulteress, Neapolitan school, first half of the 17th century

The work in question clearly reflects the stylistic features of the Neapolitan school of the early seventeenth century, in particular we could venture a date around the mid-seventeenth century, period in which Andrea Vaccaro executed the "Christ and the woman taken in adultery" now kept at the Sinebrychoffin Taide museum in Helsinki, a work which our painting is strongly inspired by, albeit varying in some characteristics, maintaining a high pictorial quality.
The painting is located within a coeval frame in lacquered wood, which is missing. We also note the presence of restorations.
