Footnotes

Provenance
The artist.
By descent to the artist's step-daughter, Marjorie.
Thence by descent to the present owner, private collection, UK.

Stanhope could have taken inspiration from a number of works for the present composition. There are clear similarities to two works by Hans Memling held in the collection of the National Gallery, London, The Donne Triptych and The Virgin and Child with an Angel. Further inspiration could have been taken from the Master of the Morrison Triptych altarpiece currently held in the collection of the Toledo Museum of Art, Ohio.
