The blooms in this garland are reminiscent of the Roman still life painter, Mario Nuzzi, called Mario dei Fiori. The Ecce Homo in the centre of the garland is related to the type invented by Guido Reni, much copied, of which an example is the painting today in the Louvre, Paris.¹ 1 Inv. no. 528; see C. Garboli and E.Baccheschi, L'opera completa di Guido Reni, Milan 1971, p. 113, cat. no. 194b, reproduced.
