Firmato su una tavoletta in alto al centro: P. Iscritto su ciascuna delle due tavolette che fiancheggiano la figura in basso al centro: SCOF. Copia di un niello della collezione Durazzo, il cui originale si trova ora nella collezione Cabinet Rothschild al Louvre. L'opera è caratteristica delle stampe a niello di Peregrino da Cesena e paragonabile nello stile ad un certo numero di altri pannelli ornamentali monogrammati. La stampa include il monogramma di Peregrino nella sua forma più semplice e situato all'interno della composizione stessa. Include anche l'enigmatica iscrizione SCOF. I nielli della collezione Durazzo vennero fatti riprodurre in incisioni dal proprietario, tra fine XVIII e inizio XIX secolo, a Venezia - come specificato anche dal Malaspina nel suo catalogo del 1824 - costituendo una serie che venne diffusa e collezionata dagli amatori. Bartsch descrive queste copie nel suo volume edito nel 1811, data che quindi costituisce il terminus ante quem per l'esecuzione. Signed on a tablet at upper center: P. Inscribed on each o two tablet flanking the figure at lower center: SCOF. Copy of a niello print from the Durazzo Collection, the original of which is now in the Cabinet Rothschild at the Louvre. The work is characyeristic of Peregrino da Cesena’s niello – manner prints and comparable in style to a number of other monogrammed ornamental panel. The print includes Peregrino’s monogram in its simplest form and located within the composition itself. It also includes the enigmatic inscription SCOF. The nielli of the Durazzo collection were reproduced in engravings by the owner himself, between the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century, in Venice - as also specified by Malaspina in his catalog of 1824 - constituting a series that was circulated and collected by amateurs. Bartsch describes these copies in his volume published in 1811, a date that therefore constitutes the terminus ante quem for the execution. TIB 2401.030 e 2503.009
