Provenance
Probablement ancienne collection Walter Gay (1856-1937)
Condition
This has been reduced in height and width. It has been lined with hessian, mounted on a wooden stretcher and has later machine woven banded selvedges. Colours faded overall with scattered areas of reweaving and repair and ruban incorporating inscription probably later as the lower base of the left hand column and very narrow horizontal strip at the top of the column. The white dove centre bottom has lost all definition and is not so easy to read as a motif. An interesting early panel especially with regard to the depiction and clothing of the figure.
