Kress Foundation, New York;[7] gift 1952 to NGA. [1] According to Tancred Borenius, citing Sir John Charles Robinson, (_Memoranda on Fifty Paintings_, London, 1868: 6, no. 7), in _A Catalogue of the Paintings at Doughty House Richmond & elsewhere in the Collection of Sir Frederick Cook Bt, Visconde de Monserrate. Volume 1, Italian Schools_, ed. by Herbert Cook, 3 vols., London, 1913-1915: 1(1913): no. 54. [2] According to the 1859 Northwick sale catalogue. "A. Hope" was probably either Adrian Elias Hope [1772-1834] or his nephew, Adrian John Hope [1811-1863], the son of the elder Adrian's older brother, Thomas Hope. [3] The 2nd baron Northwick lent the painting to the British Institution in 1839. [4] Included in Robinson's _Memoranda..._, (see note 1) as by Lo Spagna. Robinson sold most of the paintings in this catalogue to Cook in early 1868. [5] Included in Borenius' catalogue of the Italian paintings in the Cook collection (see note 1), as School of Perugino. [6] See copy of correspondence in NGA curatorial files, from the Cook Collection Archive in care of John Somerville, England. Volterra was Contini Bonacossi's agent in London. [7] The Kress Foundation made an offer to Contini Bonacossi on 7 June 1948 for a group of twenty-eight paintings, including NGA 1952.5.81, identified at the time as by Perugino. The offer was accepted on 11 July 1948 (see copies of correspondence in NGA curatorial files, see also The Kress Collection Digital Archive, https://kress.nga.gov/Detail/objects/2177).
