The sitter Filippo Lauri (1623-1694) was trained by his father, Balthasar, his brother and later Angelo Caroselli. His atelier was a private art academy and meeting place for artists and intellectuals. Lauri produced paintings for some of the most prominent families in Rome, including the Colonna, Pamphili and Chigi.
Traviani (active 1647-1675; d. 1675) was a medallist and goldsmith and, in 1655, was one of the three Consuls of the Guild of Goldsmiths in Rome. His medallic patrons included Ferdinando II, Grand-Duke of Tuscany, and Queen Christina of Sweden, who was converted to Catholicism during Alexander VII papacy.
