Attributed to Giovanni Battista Naldini

Giovanni Battista Naldini (c. 1535, 1591) was a Florentine Mannerist painter and draughtsman who trained under Jacopo Pontormo and later worked in the workshop of Giorgio Vasari. He was a prominent figure in the decoration of the Studiolo of Francesco I de' Medici in the Palazzo Vecchio, Florence, contributing altarpieces and devotional works throughout Tuscany. Works attributed to him reflect his synthesis of Pontormo's expressive figural style with the elegant artifice characteristic of late Florentine Mannerism.
