## Commentary

From 1750 to 1770 Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo was both his father&#39;s assistant and associate, as well as an independent artist. He quickly became an extremely proficient draughtsman and printmaker, depicting a variety of subjects, religious and profane, in fresco and on canvas. However, he avoided his father&#39;s grandiloquence and instead favoured creating more intimate, tender scenes such as the present canvas.
