Specialist note

This sheet depicts an early episode from the life of Francis, who was born in Assisi while his father was away in France, and was presented by a pilgrim at his baptism. Pandolfi entered Federico Zuccaro's workshop in the 1580s, when the master was working in the Marches. Two comparable drawings are in the Louvre (inv. 6673, 10328).
