The Assumption of the Virgin with The Trinity - a modello for a ceiling decoration
At the time of the 1997 sale, an alternative attribution to Fabio Canal (Venice 1703-1767) was proposed by Professor Lina Urban Padoan, who compared the picture to Canal's modello for the ceiling of the Chiesa dei SS. Apostoli, Venice.

This small relined canvas is held under tension and remains structurally stable. There is a minor thinning of the paint due to natural ageing, however the artist’s painterly technique remains highly appreciable. In raking light, minor restoration can be seen in the lower left corner, as well as a small more superficial scratch to the varnish in the same area, and some scratches along the right-hand side associated with frame wear. Ultraviolet examination reveals more extensive restoration throughout the lower centre and further scattered restoration throughout the canvas.
