The drawings in (A) and (B) are by the same artist, but in (C) by a different one. All have been attributed to the School of Lorenzo Monaco. Various earlier attributions to Fra Angelico have been given up. For the allocation of all 3 fragments to the same roll see Palladino. Others have concluded that (C) comes from a different roll.
