Widener, Elkins Park; gift 1942 to NGA. [1] Provenance according to notes by Edith Standen, the Widener curator, in NGA curatorial files. Three wax seals on the reverse of the painting have been identified by Ross Watson (see Fern Rusk Shapley, _Catalogue of the Italian Paintings_, 2 vols., Washington, D.C., 1979: 1:95-96). The two that include crosses, with only partly legible inscriptions, depict the arms of the king of Italy; they are presumably government seals. The third seal is that of a prince of the Holy Roman Empire, and bears the arms of the Rospigliosi on the left and the Oldescalchi on the right.
