Specialist note

This beautifully preserved devotional panel displays Niccolò Betti’s characteristic use of intensely-saturated colors and precise, delicate brushwork. The large number of documented variations is testament to the popularity of the composition; another version with an additional figure of Saint Joseph was recently sold at Christie’s, London, 8 December 2017, lot 157.
