Boy Peeling a Pear by Caravaggio, 1592-1593
This is mentioned only by Mancini, is the Boy Peeling a Pear (un putto the mondava una pera con il coltelo). We no longer have an original, but as far as we can judge from the copies the attitude of the boy is neither emotional nor expressive. It is rather atypical for Caravaggio, and closer to Venetian masters, as we have observed in comparing this picture to the drawing of a Negro eating a pear.
