Yes this one is well known and it does indeed look as if they have
sunken roses like those of Gerard David but the painting has been
"cleaned" to within an inch of its life, certainly the strings did
not survive!
Your earlier one by circle of Caporali was unknown to me so thank you
very much for that.
Best wishes,
David

This nativity has two very big lutes in it. Also, it seems the right
lute has 11 pegs. Maybe this has been the subject of discussion
already.
Anyway, the lutes seem to have very elaborate 3d roses.
