Artwork history & notes

Provenance

M. Dubois, Amiens. (Galerie Sedelmeyer, Paris). Private collection, New York. (American Art Association, New York, 17 and 18 May 1934, no. 132, repro., as by Gerard David);[1] Chester Dale [1883-1962], New York, May 1934; gift 1942 to NGA.
[1] This provenance is given in the catalogue of the American Art Association sale, but could not be verified. In its style the painting approaches some works produced at the end of the fifteeth century along the Franco-Flemish border. However, an accumulation of evidence based on chemical analysis of the pigments strongly suggests that it is the work of a skillful modern (probably early twentieth century) imitator of early Flemish paintings.
