The Assumption of the Virgin
-
A drawing of the Virgin, full length, in a contraposto pose, standing with her hands clasped and her gaze directed upwards and to the right. She is accompanied by cherubs. Although this drawing is attributed in Inventory A (c. 1810-1820) to Farinati, it is actually a copy after a painting in the museum at Dijon, now generally accepted as by Veronese.
Provenance
Probably from the collection of Consul Joseph Smith and bought by George III in 1762; first recorded in a Royal Collection inventory of c.1800-1820 (Inv.A, p.85)
