Catalogue Note

La démarcation en forme de guirlande horizontale dans ciel, le traitement stylisé des drapés et le soin porté à la représentation de la Jérusalem Terrestre sont à rapprocher d'une Vénération de Santa-Maria-della-Carita par le Doge, le Pape et les Vénitiens (J. Geyssant, op. cit., p.43).
