This drawing represents one of the most famous miracles performed by St. Dominic, founder of the Dominican order. The presence of the Virgin and Child surrounded by two Dominican monks seems to indicate that the drawing was made to serve as a model for small votive engravings, or, having been tiled, for an altar painting for a private chapel, perhaps belonging to a member of the order. Stylistically, the work is typical of the Bolognese school of the 17th century, the city where the Dominican Order was founded. Automatically translated by DeepL.
