Madonna and Child in a landscape

With C. & J. Goodfriend, New York,
where acquired, 1990
Though the present sheet bears an old attribution to the Greek painter Antonio Vassilacchi, called Aliense, an artist whose work was particularly indebted to his time in Venice and the Veneto, the handling is, in fact, far more reminiscent of artists active in Siena, such as Vincenzo Rustici or, even more plausibly, Alessandro Casolani.
