Before Fra Bartolommeo’s visit to Venice in 1408 he preferred to draw his
compositions with pen and ink, which enabled him to depict voluminous
drapery with flowing lines. Following his trip to Venice, he was more
preoccupied with texture, light and atmosphere, for which black and red
chalk were better suited. The significance of this scene with an angel
offering a tiara to a kneeling man remains a mystery.
