With Douwes Fine Art, Amsterdam, where purchased by the present owner.

"The following condition report has been provided by Henry Gentle, an independent restorer who is not an employee of Sotheby's. The panel is oak with a period addition along the bottom edge and one reinforced split, centre right, which is unstable. The paint surface is raised and insecure. The thin paint in the sky has been strengthened and in areas where the horizontal wood grain is dominant it has been reduced. Elsewhere, where the paint has lifted, a pale filigree of cracks has appeared and these areas have been significantly retouched to lessen the effect. The darker passages have also been abraded and reinforced. The figures are generally in a good condition. The varnish is slightly discoloured. Offered in a black and gold painted frame, good condition."
