Footnotes: Provenance Private Collection, Madrid The present lot repeats the composition of the same subject formerly in the Collection of J. H. Weitzer (1954) and Walter P. Chrysler (1971) and later offered at Sotheby's, New York, on 28 January 1999, lot 325. The prime version was most probably the work commission shortly after 1739 by Sigmund Streit (1687-1775) who sent it to Berlin where it was housed in the Graues Kloster before being destroyed during the Second World War (see P. Rohrlach, 'La collezione di quadri Streit nel Graues Kloster a Berlino', in Arte Veneta , 1951, pp. 198-201). At least two further versions of this composition are known: one sold at Christie's, London, December 18, 1980, lot 110 as by Amigoni and another workshop copy is now the Fogg Art Museum, Cambridge (1918.42).
