About the Work

Studies such as this one in oil on paper, so-called bozzetti, marked the final stage before the execution of a painting. They served as a means of presenting the work to the customer or to potential customers, as the case may be. This depiction of the Christ Child snuggling up to his mother was presumably intended as a design for an image used in the context of private devotion. The artist has executed the composition on a page from a commentary on Roman law. Dal Sole used this high-quality paper as a picture support on several occasions.
