There are a number of unsigned paintings depicting "still lives with flowers", previously attributed to [[Francesco Guardi]], known as ''Pseudo-Guradi'' ''Maestro di Fiori Guardeschi'', but now postulated as likely the work of either [[Francesco Duramano]], [[Carlo Henrici]], [[Elisabetta Marchioni]], and/or Margherita.<ref> [https://www.wikiart.org/store/artist/the-pseudo-guardi.html Wikiart org website]</ref><ref>[https://www.christies.com/en/lot/lot-4697215 Christies lot 4697215.</ref><ref>[https://catalogo.beniculturali.it/detail/HistoricOrArtisticProperty/0700099683 Catalogo Beni Culturali], Still-life with Flowers at Galleria Rizzi, Sestri Levante near [[Genoa]].</ref>
