Notes
Not in D' Atri papers ?
Signature:
Detail of the ears where the drawing is clearly visible and is painted in color
This painting presents holes in the 4 corners (2 of them covered by restoration)
this investigation has no information of restorations or cleaning of the work, but looking at old pictures is curious to see how the green area vanishes with time in pictures (the most actual & real image is up):
In lower right there is another signature or dating almost invisible to regular eye, only readable using the red channels:
Probably a dedicatory or a dating (12 ???)?

Infrared:
Where sources disagree, both readings are given. This is a working research page, not a catalogue raisonné.
