Head of a Tonsured, Bearded Saint

A damaged fragment of a street tabernacle once on the Canto de' Carnesecchi, near the Piazza of Santa Maria Novella, Florence, painted by Domenico Veneziano in the 15th century. 'Head of a Tonsured, Beardless Saint' is a similar fragment from the tabernacle. The signed centre 'Virgin and Child Enthroned' is in the Collection.

Domenico Veneziano's assistant in 1439 was Piero della Francesca, several of whose works are also in the Collection.
