ResumoThe writer examines an overlooked triptych by Lorenzo di Pietro, known as Vecchietta, in the collection of the Aberdeen Art Gallery in Aberdeen, Scotland. The work is a portable triptych; the central panel represents the Madonna of Humility, while on the wings are Saints Francis and Dominic, below the Angel of the Annunciation and the Virgin Annunciate. This remarkably well-preserved triptych is a characteristic work, presumably dating from soon after 1450, by the most versatile Sienese artist of the period. The writer discusses how it came to be bequeathed to the Aberdeen Art Gallery in 1895 by Miss Georgina Forbes.
