‘La B. V. seduta col bambino sul ginocchio sinistro in atto di sposare con l’anello S. Caterina inginocchiata dinanzi a lui: dall’altro lato S. Francesco inginocchiato, a cui la Madonna stende la destra ad abbracciarlo: l’atto è bastantemente dignitoso, comeche riveli ben poco spiritualismo nello Scarsellino, e ne’ suoi coetanei. Dietro a S. Francesco sta S. Chiara. Dalla parte di S. Caterina, S. Ignazio anch’esso inginocchiato con le mani giunte: e più addietro in piedi S. Luigi Gonzaga. Tela non molto grande: bell’impasto di colorito’
