The Madonna and Child with the Infant Baptist and Saint Ursula, Saint Benedict, Saint Stephen or Saint Laurence, and another martyr

Prof. Dr. Peter Anselm Riedl has confirmed the attribution to Vanni in a letter dated 21 October 2005, suggesting a date in the late 1590s and noting the strong influence of Barocci. Prof. Dr. Riedl draws attention to another version of the composition, of lesser quality and on paper rather than vellum, in the Louvre (F. Viatte, Inventaire Général des Dessins Italiens, III, Dessins Toscans XVI^e-XVIII^e siècles, I, 1560-1640, Paris, 1988, no. 546).
