A classical scene: a warrior prince leading a maiden away
oil on canvas
unframed: 97.7 x 132.2 cm.; 38 1/2 x 52 in.
framed: 127 x 161.3 cm.; 50 x 63 1/2 in.
Thence by inheritance to his brother, Don José María de Ulloa y Ortega-Montañés, 8th Marquis of Castro-Serna (1839-1905);
Thence by descent to the previous owners.
This painting may be compared to Dandini's Hagar and Sarah (private collection, Florence)1 and Esther fainting (location unknown),2 in which the figures of Sarah and one of Esther's attendants bear a strong resemblance to the female figure, here.
The attribution to Dandini is thanks to Dott.ssa Francesca Baldassari, to whom we are grateful.
