Note du spécialiste

Dated to the early 1570s by Jonathan Katz Nelson (loc. cit.), this copper reproduces figures from a lost cartoon that Michelangelo made for Pontormo in the early 1530s. Elizabeth Pilliod confirmed the attribution to Allori on the basis of first-hand inspection in 1990, suggesting a dating to the early 1560s.
