NOTES
Foto INVN 23100, verso: nota dattiloscritta: "Madonna and Child, St. Peter and St. John the Evangelist"/ From the Street Collection. See R. Van Marle, "Italian Schools of Painting", Vol. II, p. 590/ This picture is beautiful in colour. The Virgin's robe is dark blue, lined with green. The Child's robe is old rose. St. Peter has a blue-grey robe, and a yellow cloak lined with red. St. John the Evangelist has a red dalmatic. Ths picture belongs to the master's best period, hislast Sienese period, the same period as the signed polyptych in the Accademia at Siena. Both Mr. F. Mason Perkins and Dr. R. van Marle have written about this picture stating that it is one of the best works of the master. The photograph is too light in tone, and does not reproduce the lighter shadows on the flesh, and the drapery. The work is in an excellent state."
