拍品專文

Friedländer accepted these panels, evidently the inside wings of a small altarpiece, as autograph works by David, but observed (1971 edition) that they were 'somewhat overcleaned'. Van Migroet left the question of the authorship of the panels open, as he had not viewed them when he wrote his monograph in 1989. The high quality of the golden damask of Saint Augustine's cope should be noted. Similar pomegranate brocade patterns appear in a number of works by David, sometimes reversed as in the cloak of honour of the National Gallery Mystic Marriage of Saint Catherine, no. 1045 (Friedländer, op. cit., 1971, no. 218). The artist's interest in fabric is attested to by the way he shows how the cope was made of sections of damask rather than cut from a single piece. The panels presumably flanked a central scene with a landscape background: a Crucifixion previously in a Berlin collection has been thought to be the missing panel.
