Specialist note

We are grateful to Professor Peter Humfrey for confirming the attribution on the basis of photographs. He regards it as an early work of circa 1525-30, when Bonifazio's style was still extremely close to that of Palma Vecchio, in whose studio he most probably trained as a young artist.
