Virgin and Child Enthroned with Sts Mary Magdalene and Catherine
by RAFFAELLINO DEL GARBO, Tempera on panel, diameter 92 cm
This painting bears the hallmarks of Raffaellino’s figures: the soft, rounded cheeks and chin; the small curved nose; the broad, smooth forehead and thinly drawn brows. The artist favoured whimsical costumes and drapery as much in his treatment of sacred subjects as he did in his secular paintings.
