Sale room notice
Marc Vandenven of the Rubenianum, Antwerp, has kindly confirmed the attribution noting that this is presumably a design for a print in a book of prayers. The organ in the background would seem to indicate that the subject may be the Marriage of Saint Cecilia with Valerianus (L. Reau, Iconographie de l'art chrtien, III, Iconographie des Aints, I, A-F, p. 283).
