Details

Depicting a scene set within architectural surroundings, centred on a tree with two seated men—likely beggars—and two standing figures engaging with them in a compassionate manner. The frame is decorated at the top with a floral motif centred by a shell-like element and entirely painted in cobalt blue. Certain decorative and stylistic choices suggest affinity with works from Savona workshops influenced by the polychrome production of the Guidobono family
