[1] According to Kress records in NGA curatorial files. [2] On 7 June 1954 the Kress Foundation made an offer to Contini Bonacossi for sixteen paintings, including the NGA painting which was listed as _Altarpiece Deposition_ by Solario. In a draft of one of the documents prepared for the Count's signature in connection with the offer, this painting is described as one "which came from my personal collection in Florence." The Count accepted the offer on 30 June 1954; the final payment for the purchase was ultimately made in early 1957, after the Count's death in 1955.
