Provenance

Art market, Madrid.[1] (Weissberger, Madrid). Émile Pares, Paris; (his sale, Anderson Galleries, New York, 19 February 1915, no. 306, as by Cimabue); G.W. Arnold; Otto H. Kahn [d. 1934], New York, by 1917; by inheritance to his widow, Mrs. Otto H. Kahn; gift 1949 to NGA.

[1] Both this panel and NGA 1937.1.1 came onto the Madrid art market in 1912 at which time they were alleged to have come from a convent in Calahorra, Spain. This provenance has been proven to be incorrect. See Has Belting, "The 'Byzantine' Madonnas," Studies in the History of Art 12 (1982).
