Specialist note

Professor Miklós Boskovits, in his review of Stubblebine, op. cit, in The Art Bulletin, LXIV, no. 3, September 1982, p. 497, states that in his opinion all the paintings given by Stubblebine to his 'Montalcino Polyptych Master' are in fact the work of Segna di Bonaventura.

Mr. Everett Fahy considers the paintings in this group, including the present panel, to be late works by Segna (private communication)
