Sebastiano Folli

Art market, France;

Where acquired by the present owner.

This depiction of Saint Sebastian – particularly his posture, torso and the foreshortening of his legs – is highly comparable to Folli's presentation of Susanna in his Susanna and the Elders at the Villa Brandi, Vignano, Siena.¹

We are grateful to Dott. Marco Ciampolini for proposing the attribution to Sebastiano Folli on the basis of digital images.
