This picture executed by the great master of the Florentine school, is one of his best works. It is on wood. Having finished it in his advanced age, he seems to have devoted particular attention to surpass himself. There is something extremely poetic in its conception and sentiment, and the richness, depth and transparency of color are peculiarly noticeable. It is deemed worthy of the particular attention of the connoisseur. [P. 6.]
