In this work the Umbrian painter, although influenced by Perugino's schemes even in the landscape setting, shows a slight inclination towards Pinturicchio's results.
In the work, in fact, it is possible to find clear references to the painting intended for the high altar of the Cathedral of Naples, commissioned to Perugino.
Comparing the two panels it is possible to observe how the author, in addition to the presence of the figure of the client, replaced the double row of musician angels with a single group arranged on the same register, eliminated the angelic heads included in the frame of the almond and transformed the hilly view into a seascape.
Therefore, the author places himself among the southern artists most inclined to Umbrian-Roman suggestions, among whom the painter Cristoforo Faffeo undoubtedly deserves attention.
