The clarity of the narration, the elegance of the gesture, as well as the sensitive use of colour are characteristic for Emilian and Bolognese painting of this period. The painting reflects a perfect balance between the classicist tradition of Central Italy and the naturalistic tendencies of the Northern Italian tradition, typical for this area.
