Note du spécialiste

Traditionally given to Federico Barocci, the attribution of this panel to Ventura Salimbeni was first proposed by Aidan Weston-Lewis and confirmed by John Marciari, to whom we are grateful. They have noted the existence of a close version in the collection of the Monte dei Paschi in Siena (inv. no. 381489). That version, of lesser quality, measures 34 x 25.5 cm, and is dated to circa 1600.
