Stuttgart Museum.[1] (dealer, Lake District, England); purchased early 1930s by Helen B. [Mrs. Thomas] Lillie; by inheritance to her daughter, Helen M. Lillie Marwick [Mrs. Charles S. Marwick, 1915-2003], Washington, D.C.; bequest 2003 to NGA. [1] Provenance information provided by Helen Lillie Marwick (letter of 7 July 1998, in NGA curatorial files). On the wooden panel that backs the painting is an oblong octagonal-shaped red wax seal. On the seal, a central crest with a crown is flanked on the left by a dog-like animal and on the right by a stag; a scroll at the bottom is largely illegible, except for the last letters "PIC." On the lower right reverse of the frame is a paper label, on which is written in blue pen "Stuttgart Museum Seal--." The "Stuttgart Museum," also mentioned in Mrs. Marwick's letter, has not been identified. Dr. Elsbeth Wieman, Curator for Early German and Netherlandish Painting at the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart indicates that there is no record of this painting in their files (letter of 24 November 2003, in NGA curatorial files).
