This is a preparatory sketch for Heim's large canvas painted in 1836 for the church of Notre Dame de Lorette, Paris, still in situ today. Another sketch was sold Paris, Tajan, 30 November 1990, lot 134. This was confused with the present work at the 1995 sale and thus erroneously included in the provenance at that time.
