Saint Matthew and the Angel

Note that the work cited here is presumably a version of that in the seventeeth-century record - compare the measurements. For the work to be identical, it would have had to have been enlarged at some stage

Said to be Moretto da Brescia

Night piece of St Matthew, in red drapery, looking up holding a pen in his right hand, with his other holding the ink-horn, leaning on a table, with a lamp, life-size half-length
