Description: The Annunciation. To the right, St. Catherine of Siena in adoration. Laid down. Numbered in pen and brown ink at lower right: 199. (Sparre) and 82.

Tessin identified the female saint in this drawing as St. Anne.

A variant of this drawing, of identical dimensions and in the same technique, is in the Uffizi. Riedl regarded the Uffizi drawing as either an earlier version of this composition, or a replica. Although our sheet seems to be a preparatory study for a painting, no such picture is known to exist. Romagnoli mentions an "Annunziata" painted in 1602 for the parish church of Piombino. As this painting had disappeared already in the time of Romagnoli, it is impossible to prove any connection between the two works. In the 1741 catalogue of the Crozat sale, Mariette states that all Vanni drawings in the sale had belonged to Abbé Desneuz de la Noüe, prior to his death around 1657. [Bjurström, It.
