Christ on the Road to Emmaus

Provenance

Recorded as from New York State. A Dutch family in the vicinity of Kingston, New York. (Thurston Thacher, Hyde Park, New York), by whom sold in 1952 to Edgar William and Bernice Chrysler Garbisch;[1] gift to NGA, 1966. [1] This is taken from the Garbisch records. Ruth Piwonka (see below), however, in a letter of 23 April 1977, in NGA curatorial files, indicates that the painting is likely to have the same Sanders/Wilson provenance as _Christ and the Woman of Samaria_ (1953.5.91) and _Young Man on a Terrace_ (1953.5.92), both by unknown painters, as well as _Lady Undressing for a Bath_ (1956.13.11), attributed to Gerardus Duyckinck.
