Notes:
To attribute to the same hand that executed the prior offer (table 53, inv. Costa n. 48) of which is seen the long brushstroke applied as a descriptive taste for the details of the cargo to sea, the sailors on the yards and the sails pulled away by the wind. Also in this painting the image of the Virgin is draft from a watercolored, cutted out and therefore glued to the painting that however, not knowing what type of image would have been applied, is integrally executed. |
