The Adoration of the Magi

Anonymous sale, Amsterdam, Christie's, 7 May 1996, lot 110, where acquired for the Wieg collection.
This painting may be compared with that of the same subject in the Staatliches Museum, Schwerin (inv. no. G 3834), in which the composition is mirrored, though the position of some of the figures differs, and the distinct ray of divine light that is found in the present work, is absent.1
