About the Work

This new addition to the catalogue of Paolo de San Leocadio is a spectacular example of the early Renaissance in Valencia. The refined quality and outstanding condition makes it a master jewel for any collector. The scene is amazingly complex with extremely detailed figures, highlighted in gold and set in a dramatic landscape.

Due to its importance, condition and superb quality, it is non exportable from Spain.
