Lot Essay

In a letter dated May 3, 1925 (a photocopy of which is available with the above lot) Max Friedlander relates the present lot to the same hand as three other paintings known to him to be in the Smith Collection, Boston, the Burdeney Collection, Vienna and in the Brunner Collection, Paris. The artist, according to Friedlander, greatly resembles the Master of the Parrot though differs from him slightly. He dates the painting to around 1525.
