Thence by descent within the family for at least three generations.
Condition
The panel is cradled with a single baton, which is supporting a vertical repaired split, running three-quarters of the way down the panel from the upper margin, just right of centre. There is also a damage to the paint surface, which has resulted in a small loss, less then 0.5 cm. squared, just to the left of the glass (visible in the catalogue illustration). The paint surface is quite dirty and the varnish is discoloured. Inspection under ultraviolet light reveals retouching to the aforementioned split, but otherwise no further intervention. In overall good condition.
