Catalogue Note
This is a particularly attractive example from Giandomenico's series of drawings of this subject. They appear less frequently on the market than other groups, such as the series of drawings of St. Anthony. Fourteen sheets from the present series are in the Museo Correr, Venice, dated by Teresio Pignatti around 1790.1 James Byam Shaw suggested that Domenico was inspired by Giambattista's altarpiece painted in 1759 in the Duomo, Este.2
