Circular paintings like this, better known as tondi (from the Italian for ‘round’), were popular in fifteenth-century Florence, and the workshop of Sandro Botticelli specialised in their production. This one was acquired by Charles Eastlake, first Director of the National Gallery, in 1855. The purchase caused some controversy, however, in part because other works made in Botticelli’s workshop are of a much higher standard.
