[1] Richard Offner (A Critical and Historical Corpus of Florentine Painting. The Fourteenth Century, Section IV, Vol. II, Nardo di Cione, New York, 1960: 24) provides the information, communicated to him by Dr. Manfred Graf von Ingenheim, that Gustav Adolf Wilhelm von Ingenheim acquired some of his paintings during his stay in Italy from 1820 to 1840, and had received others as gifts from the King of Prussia, from the Solly Collection. A label on the reverse of the central portion of NGA 1939.1.261.a-c indicates that it may have been one of the gifts. The label reads: Kaiser Friedrich Palais / Zimmer No 251 [or 257] / Lfde No 39.

[2] See Offner 1960, 24. The information about the purchase from the Ingenheim family and the sale to Goldman was given to Offner by A.S. Drey.
