Catalogue Note

The composition of this painting closely follows that of a panel sold London, Christie's, 20 December 1929, lot 73, and subsequently with Newhouse Galleries, New York, by whom advertised in Art News, vol. XXIX, no. 12, December 1930 (see Witt Library mount). Although superior in quality to the present picture, it is unclear whether the ex-Newhouse picture should be considered Garofalo's original.
