International studio. escription oj ihe Borgherini Madonna, which has just been acquired by the Metropolitan Museum oj Art, is given by Vasari (1511-1574): Andrea made anolhei picture almost exactly like the Charity aforementioned, for Giovanni Borgherini, in which are found Our Lady, the infant Saint John who presents to the Christ child a globe typifying the world, and a very beautijul head of St. Joseph.
