Lot Essay

Although clearly derived from Domenichino’s composition of the ‘Madonna della Rosa’ (dating to before 1627) in the Devonshire Collection, Chatsworth, in the present lot there are numerous differences most notably to the background, the pose of the Madonna’s head and the absence of a veil.
