Lot Essay

Umberto Gnoli and Lionello Venturi both published this panel as an early work by Giannicola di Paolo, comparing the figures to those in a drawing made in 1494 for decoration of a church bench by Mariotto di Paolo, called Terzuolo da Gubbio (loc. cit.). The panel has however been most recently published by Filippo Todini as by Eusebio di San Giorgio.
