Note du spécialiste

Though Max Friedländer attributed this painting to Lucas Gassel, it is now believed to be by an anonymous contemporary active in the third quarter of the sixteenth century. Anna Koopstra has associated it with a group of at least four somewhat larger panels (Helmond, Museum Helmond; Madrid, Antiguedades Lozano; sold Christie's, Amsterdam, 20-21 November 2013, lot 75 and formerly Wassenaar, Gosschalk collection) and one of smaller size (formerly J. Freling, Amsterdam) that likewise depict Old Testament subjects and presumably originate from the same workshop.
