The MMA sheet is a finished modello for a Marriage of the Virgin: a further preliminary study for the same composition is in the Albertina, Vienna (inv. 610, Birke and Kertesz 1992, vol. 1, p/ 332 as "Schule von Siena"). The Albertina drawing, of a smaller scale (16 x cm), has been squared and transferred onto the larger MMA sheet. A further drawing that was a preliminary sketch for this composition is in a private collection (written communication by Denis Morganti, July 24, 2014)(Furio Rinaldi).
