  • 1772.02.22/ maison de ventes : Christie's. Vente de l'œuvre décrite comme [[The Virgin attended by Angels. - It appears that the painter has taken his idea of this agreeable composition, from a small picture painted by Guido, which is now in the King of France's Collection. Upon my comparing them, I found a considerable difference, not only in the action of several figures, but in the composition and colour of the draperies. There is likewise in this picture, towards the left of the Madonna, an additional figure more than in the one I have mentioned. This had originally been painted upon a thick pannel, but so rent in the middle when I purchased it, that the separation could easily contained the thickness of near half a crown; it is now upon a thin gause, pasted upon cloth, and the original colours of hte master so successfully joined, that there appears not the least blemish.
