Description : Coppia di dipinti con scene bibliche

Oil on canvas on a board. The paintings are close to Crosato's technique and they depict two biblical events: 'Moses discovery' and 'Judith and Holofernes'. The small size of these paintings seem to recall the idea that they may be drafts to be presented in front of the commission for a larger work. On the back, a pencil writing of the early 1900 with a name (Carlo D'Alberti Guecchi) probably suggests their origin. They are presented in coeval frames. 18th century.
