Notes:
"We can not, in spite of the cleanness of the work, a great expressive force. The purfling is rather close to the edge. The corners are short but rather wide. The sculpting of the head is typical, especially on the front face where the flutings terminate very flatly."Liutai in Brescia: 1520-1724, Eric Blot, Liutai in Brescia: 1520-1724, Cremona
