Lot Essay

The pen and ink drawing on the reverse of this panel is a remarkably rare survival. It is possibly by the same hand, or by a hand in the same workshop, as the artist who painted the Madonna and Child on the recto. The drawing is close in style to Parri Spinelli (c. 1387-1453), the son of Spinello Aretino, who was a prolific draughtsman.
