About the sculpture
This relief is probably a contemporary squeeze (or cast) from the marble relief by Desiderio da Settignano in the Pinacoteca at Turin. The Turin Madonna was carved about 1450-53 and a large number of stucco derivatives from it are known. The paint surface of the present example is substantially original.
