Seems like Giovanni Lanfranco could be a combined function 1-2 artist. Some examples (links to my poems load once only in Windows):

Venus playing the harp = TEQ #44 (function 1)

Hagar in the Wilderness = TEQ #90 (function 2)

Virgin and Child Appearing to the hermit Saints Paul and Anthony (?) = TEQ #91 (function 2)

San Luca di Giovanni Lanfranco = TEQ #92 (function 2) - (see also DDS part III: 39)

Added 19 february 2023:

Nude young man with a cat (from this source) = TEQ #51 (function 1)

Added 21-22 february 2023:

I found a puzzling series of further correlations with my DDS part III (links to artworks from this source):

Angélica e Medoro = DDS part III:25 = volume 4 page 416

Elie et la veuve de Sarepta = DDS part III:26 = volume 4 page 417

Angelica pflegt Medoro = DDS part III:27 = volume 4 page 418

Giovane nudo sul letto con un gatto = DDS part III:28 = volume 4 page 419

Enea fugge da Troia con la sua famiglia = DDS part III:29 = volume 4 page 420

Elijah Receiving Bread from the Widow of Zarephath = DDS part III:30 = volume 4 page 421

Norandino and Lucina Discovered by the Ogre = DDS part III:31 = volume 4 page 422

El rapto de Europa (a quote of Rafael's 'Triumph of Galatea' = DDS part III:32 = volume 4 page 423

Rinaldo abbandona Armida = DDS part III:33 = volume 4 page 424

Roger arrivé en Bretagne fait descendre Angélique de l'hippogriffe = DDS part III:34 = volume 4 page 425

There is an interesting comment to these artworks under Brief comments for 22 february 2023 excerpted here.

The interesting point is the last line in my DDS part III which is "Wir stehn auf der trockenen Diele". Is the following artwork (or is it remains of an artwork?) assigned to Lanfranco a 'dry plank' for this last line?

The death of Seneca = DDS part III:64 = volume 4 page 455
