Lot Essay

We are grateful to Professor Dario Succi for proposing the attribution to Gabriele Bella, noting in particular the characteristic treatment of the figures, and commenting '...it could be dated at the beginning of his activity when he was quite close to Marieschi...It is of a pretty high quality.'
