Provenance
Private Collection, Oxfordshire, prior to the present owner
Based on the composition and the gestures of the hands the present composition can be placed to circa 1600. With its upright format and cluster of angels in clouds in the upper centre, it may be compared, for example, to Abraham Bloemaert's Annunciation to the Shepherds, which is known from a 1599 engraving by Jan Saenredam, of which the original is now lost.
