North Italian School of the 16th century

The Virgin with two Saints and a Donor

Brown ink and wash, highlighted in white. 41 x 28 cm.

This composition is probably a design for an altarpiece. The squared grid over the work indicates that it was meant to be transferred to a larger format. The style of this piece with its voluminous figures can be localised to the Veneto. The work has several well-restored minor tears.
