On View
Not on viewDescriptionThis well-preserved painting is a fine example of the art practiced in Leonardo da Vinci's circle, yet no exact prototype appears to exist in Leonardo's work and no other version of the composition seems to be known. The work is stylistically consistent with the ouvre given to Giampetrino.
