The whole picture very charming and easy, with the pleasantest colouring imaginable and pretty details, such as the washing of the baby and the boy warming his hands, while of the two women in the foreground, that on the left, facing the spectator, is a portrait of Andrea's wife, Lucrezia.

In the Arrival of the Magi we find Andrea himself, the figure second from the right-hand side, pointing; while next to him, on the left, is his friend Jacopo Sansovino.

The "Dead Man Restored to Life by S.Filippo" is Andrea's next best.

Franciabigio did the scene of the Marriage of the Virgin, which contains another of his well-drawn boys on the steps.

The injury to this fresco--the disfigurement of Mary's face--was the work of the painter himself, in a rage that the monks should have inspected it before it was ready.
