Verified profile
The piece of furniture is characterized by an elegant and sinuous shape and is decorated with some scenes from the Passion of Christ: on the table, a touching Pietà is visible, followed, on the band of the central drawer, by the Ascent to Calvary and the Transport of the body of Christ and , in the lower part, from the Resurrection. The iconographic sources could derive from graphic materials created by the painter Pietro Domenico Olivero, godfather of at least one of Prinotto's sons.
