Half-length portrait of the Virgin with Jesus in her arms, both looking towards the viewer. A mezzotint by Valentine Green for 'A Set of Prints Engraved after the Most Capital Paintings in the Collection of Her Imperial Majesty the Empress of Russia, Lately in the Possession of the Earl of Orford at Houghton in Norfolk', 1773-1788. For some reason this plate was replaced by a stipple in 1782. The painting, formerly in the collection of Sir Robert Walpole at Houghton Hall, had been attributed to Domenico Zampieri (1581-1641), known as Domenichino. Today it is recongnised as the work of Giovanni Battista Salvi, 'Il Sassoferrato'.
