Literature
G. F. Waagen, Galleries and Cabinets of Art in Great Britain, 1857, p.167, as Giovan Antonio Sogliani - 'To this master I am most inclined to attribute a Virgin and Child of great completeness of rendering in every part, especially in the modelling of the forms of the Child. The character of the heads, the style of the folds in the drapery, the combination of colours, are all evidences of the best time of this master'
