Francesco Furini, studio of

Saint Agnes

Oil on canvas. 75.5 x 60.5 cm.

The present painting is likely the hand of a Florentine painter working in the close circle of Francesco Furini and Carlo Dolci. The handling and composition show signs of Furini's influence, in particular the lamb which can be found in Furini's version of this subject (Private Collection), the ovoid shape of the face and the slightly shadowy area around the neck.

Provenance

Private ownership, England.
