This appears to be an early work by Petrazzi, close in style to the Virgin and Child with Saint Catherine of Siena in the Chigi Saracini collection.1 The view behind The Holy Family is thought to depict the iconic hill of Radicofani, located in the Province of Siena.
We are grateful to Dott. Marco Ciampolini for proposing the attribution to Petrazzi on the basis of digital images.
