The Courtauld’s fragment is part of a large and mutilated sheet; the other, larger part is in the Uffizi Gallery, Florence. Both compositions are likely variations of The Education of the Virgin, featuring Saint Anne and the young Virgin Mary. The method of shading against the contours of the figures and the vigorous use of hatching are typical of Stefano’s lively penmanship.
