WILLIAM DRURY-LOWE, Esq., LOCKO PARK, DERBY.
Virgin and Child with Saints. Canvas. 47 × 45. Old Masters, 1893. No. 164.
The Virgin is seated, with the divine Child, who is nude, erect on her knees. His right hand is raised, and in his left is a globe.
On the left is St. Jerome reading a book, and behind him St. Nicolas of Tolenteno. On the right, St. Catherine and a bishop in adoration.
This is now ascribed by Dr. Richter to Lo Spagna, one of Perugino's pupils. The identical picture, executed in fresco, is to be found at Spoleto, and is there considered to be Lo Spagna's masterpiece.
The above easel replica came from the Palazzo Darino at Milan, and was bought in 1852 from Sig. Giovanni Locarnos.
