Object information

Object category: painting
Support/medium: canvas, oil paint
In 1935 and 1958 it was mentioned that the painting was transferred from panel to canvas (Bredius 1935, no. 609; Stockholm 1958, p. 164, no. 1349). However, study with x-radiography showed that this statement is incorrect (Corpus of Rembrandt Paintings 1982-2015, vol. 2 (1986), no. A 46; Cavalli-Björkman/Fryns/Sidén 2005, no. 416).

Provenance

Collection(s)

private collection Carel van Cracau, Netherlands/Denmark
probably bought by Cracau in 1646 (Göthe 1910, p. 281, no. 1349)
1646 -
private collection Brigitta van Cracau, Källeryd
In 1647 Brigitta married Magnus Nilsson Durell who later purchased the Vallen estate (Cavalli-Björkman/Fryns/Sidén 2005, p. 405). The husband of Brigitta is possibly identical to the M. Durrell who some authors mention as former owner of the painting (Stockholm 1958, p. 164, no. 1349; Corpus of Rembrandt Paintings 1982-2015, vol. 2 (1986), no. A 46).
probably by descent from her father, Carel van Cracau (Cavalli-Björkman/Fryns/Sidén 2005, p. 405)
private collection Erik Johan Meck, Zweden
Cavalli-Björkman/Fryns/Sidén 2005, no. 416
private collection Th. Carlheim-Gyllensköld, Stockholm
as a work by Ribera (Göthe 1910, p. 281, no. 1349). The Carheim-Gyllensköld family was the subsequent owner of the Vallen estate. It is possible that the painting came into the possession of this family through inheritance (Cavalli-Björkman/Fryns/Sidén 2005, p. 405).
- 1881 sold to the Nationalmuseum for 600 kronor (Cavalli-Björkman/Fryns/Sidén 2005, p. 405)
Nationalmuseum Stockholm, Stockholm , inv./cat.nr NM 1349
1881 - bought from Th. Carlheim-Gyllensköld as by an unknown Italian artist (Hofstede de Groot 1907-1928, vol. 6 (1915), no. 181)
