Catalogue Note
The composition derives from Lorenzo di Credi. The Virgin and Christ Child are borrowed from one of several works in which Lorenzo utilises the same basic idiom, such as those in Karlsruhe, Staatliche Kunsthalle; Rome, Collezione Casati Stampa di Soncino; and London, National Gallery.1 The design and positioning of the three attendants derives from those that accompany Christ at His Baptism in Lorenzo's treatment of that subject in the church of San Domenico, Fiesole, though with some changes to the positioning of the hands.2
