Tempera and gold on wood
33 1/2 x 23 in. (85.1 x 58.4 cm)
The Friedsam Collection, Bequest of Michael Friedsam, 1931 (32.100.84)
The picture seems to have been painted about 1480–82, under the strong influence of Verrocchio, and is almost perfectly preserved. It is roughly contemporary with Rosselli's frescoes in the Sistine Chapel, Rome, where he worked alongside Perugino, Botticelli, Ghirlandaio, and Signorelli. The frame dates from the late sixteenth or early seventeenth century.
