Elisabetta Sirani (1638-65)
Madonna and Child seated on clouds 1663?
-
A drawing of the Virgin and Child seated on clouds. The object held in the Virgin's raised right hand may be a girdle. The drawing may therefore be connected with a painting mentioned in the artist's diary 'Una B. Vergine della Centura, per il sig. Marchese Crespi, che la diede al Comune di Bagnarola' (Malavasia, II, p. 473 where placed under 1662, but should be dated 1663)
