Lot Essay

Based on a composition in the museum at Bucharest (see the catalogue of the exhibition, Capolavori europei dalla Romania: sessanta dipinti dal Museo Nazionale d'Ate di Bucarest, Palazzo Ducale, Venice, Feb.-June 1991, pp. 34-5, color illustration, as Boccaccio Boccaccino) traditionally given to Boccaccino, but which some recent scholars have suggested may be one of the earliest recognizable works by Ludovico Mazzolino. We are grateful to Mr. Everett Fahy for identifying the composition
