He was the founder of a very active workshop in Venice, where Jacopo Palma the Elder, Andrea Previtali, and Francesco Galizzi, known as Rizzo, took their first steps; upon the master's death, Rizzo inherited the workshop. The painting is accompanied by an expertise by Prof. Alessandro Nesi. Canvas dimensions 63.5 x 53
