[1] According to Tancred Borenius, citing Sir John Charles Robinson, (Memoranda on Fifty Paintings, London, 1868: 6, no. 7), in A Catalogue of the Paintings at Doughty House Richmond & elsewhere in the Collection of Sir Frederick Cook Bt, Visconde de Monserrate. Volume 1, Italian Schools, ed. by Herbert Cook, 3 vols., London, 1913-1915: 1(1913): no. 54.

[2] According to the 1859 Northwick sale catalogue. "A. Hope" was probably either Adrian Elias Hope [1772-1834] or his nephew, Adrian John Hope [1811-1863], the son of the elder Adrian's older brother, Thomas Hope.

[3] The 2nd baron Northwick lent the painting to the British Institution in 1839.

[4] Included in Robinson's Memoranda..., (see note 1) as by Lo Spagna. Robinson sold most of the paintings in this catalogue to Cook in early 1868.

[5] Included in Borenius' catalogue of the Italian paintings in the Cook collection (see note 1), as School of Perugino.

[6] See copy of correspondence in NGA curatorial files, from the Cook Collection Archive in care of John Somerville, England. Volterra was Contini-Bonacossi's agent in London.

[7] The Kress Foundation made an offer to Contini-Bonacossi on 7 June 1948 for a group of twenty-eight paintings, including NGA 1952.5.81, identified at the time as by Perugino. The offer was accepted on 11 July 1948 (see copies of correspondence in NGA curatorial files).
