"Verrochio (Andrea), Manner of, Florence. 1443-1488. (W. 30 x 45.) The baptism of Christ, in the 'hard, crude' design Vasari ascribes to this master. This picture is varied considerably from his well-known masterpiece in the Florentine academy, and, whether by him or one of his pupils, would seem to be of earlier date." [P. 17.]
