拍品专文

This scene used to be thought to depict Christ discovering His sleeping Disciples, but it is after a painting by Rubens in the Imperial Belvedere Palace in Vienna entitled 'Cimon finds Iphigenia with three Companions Sleeping under a Tree'. See Lot 152 for a pair of crested guglets with this design.
