Note du spécialiste

Anne Lauder kindly confirmed the attribution on the basis of a photograph and added that 'this type of idyllic scene must have been intended for a wall decoration of a private villa probably in the Veneto, and almost certainly dates to his second residence there, circa 1552-61'.
