Lot Essay

The soft brushwork with which the artist has depicted the features of the Virgin, with her downcast eyes, are characteristic of Carlo Francesco Nuvolone's style, comparable to his monumental Madonna of the Rosary in the collection of the Bob Jones University, Greenville, U.S.A. The composition of the present picture is close to his Madonna and Child in the Walkers Art Gallery, Baltimore, and his picture of the same subject in the Castello Sforzesco, Milan (F. Zeri, Italian Paintings in the Walters Art Gallery, Baltimore, 1976, II, p. 496, pl. 250).
