Lot Essay

The composition is comparable with the altarpiece in the Duomo, Oderzo (Treviso), S. Mason Rinaldi, Palma il Giovane, l'opera completa, Milan, 1984, no. 182, fig. 403. The drawing is a fine example of Palma's monochromatic oil sketches, inspired by the much more numerous studies in the technique by Domenico Tintoretto
