16th/17th century painting after Andrea Del Sarto,on wood.The composition follows closely the composition of Del Sarto's "Madonna col Bambino, San Giovannino e angeli". 28" x 35"./////////////////////////////////////////////Provanance: Private collection, NYC since 1985.///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////David's comments:Although this composition by del Sarto comes up frequently at auction at least once or twice around the world, this particular example has been in a NYC estate since the mid 1980's.Family recollection was that it was bought at auction in the NYC area at the time.///////////////Interested parties should note the tree in the backround upper right hand corner, which is not typical of the many copies and examples that appear on the market.While there is scattered restoration around the edges, the main body of the work is intact and appears original and untouched, except for the occasional small chip and/or scratch.

A large split in the wood lower 1/3 center, 8 or 10 areas of restoration about 1 inch to 1.5 inches, scattered scrapes, chips and scratches.See additional notes above.
