NOTES:
[1] Erroneously said in the catalogue to be on canvas and dated 1629.

[2] The painting is visible hanging on the wall of the Villa Duschnitz in a photograph of about 1917 (kindly supplied by Harold Chipman). Wilibald Duschnitz probably sold the painting before 1930. During the National Socialist period, he lost works of art as the result of racial persecution, but there is no indication that this painting was in his possession at that time. At least one other painting from the Duschnitz collection was later owned by Marianne Khuner, who was likewise from Vienna and immigrated to the US in the 1940s. It is unknown, however, whether it was sold directly to her or when.

[3] The painting was advertised by Colnaghi in Weltkunst 55, no. 17 (September 1, 1985): p. 2261, and by Kunsthandel Heide Hübner, Würzburg, in Weltkunst 56, no. 2 (February 1, 1986): pp. 222-223.
