- Curator's comments
- Presumably made with the Christ Child in mind, this stock drawing of an easily modifiable type was doubtless reused multiple times, as the splatters of red and pink paint appear to suggest. The looser, softer manner implies a date from the middle or end of Vanni’s career.
For a general description of the Vanni workshop albums see 1886,0104.3.1.
