This and the following, No. 88, are two panels belonging to the bridal chests of Francesco Borgherini and Margherita Accajuoli, of which other panels painted by Bacchiacca and Pontormo are now in the National Gallery. No. 87 gives scenes from the story of Joseph's dream, his search for his brothers, the presentation of his coat, 78 CATALOGUE OF WORKS smeared with blood, to Jacob. The hillock in the centre of the picture is a characteristic feature in many of del Sarto's works. It is signed "Andrea del Sarto faciebat," with the cypher below. No. 88 gives Pharaoh's Dream, and Joseph as governor in Egypt. It bears the cypher alone. These two panels are remarkable for their richness of incident, perspective, atmosphere, and powerful colouring. They were sold by the Borgherini family to the G.D. Francesco in 1584, for the sum of 360 ducats. Both panels engraved by G. Rossi, Lorenzini. ANNUNCIATION. Canvas, 1-82 x 174 = 6 ft. x 5.9.
