Lot Essay

He related this figure to that in the left foreground of a lunette fresco of in the Oratorio di S. Bernardino, Siena. Furthermore, he noticed that the figure in this sheet relates even closer to a study for the fresco in the Uffizi (A. Petrioli Tofani, , Florence, 1986, I, no. 833E, ill.).
