專家說明

The formation of the Fountaine Collection, the two inventories of it taken by Andrew Fountaine IV and its dispersal at the legendary 1884 Christie's sale is discussed in the introduction to this and the previous lot on page .

The subject, which is taken from Exodus, Chapter XV, is the victory song of Miriam, in celebration of the Israelites' deliverance after their flight from Egypt. The inscription EXODE · XV Maria[m] d[i] A[a]ron Sorella pres[so] i faraoni translates as 'Exodus [Chapter] XV Maria[m] sister of Aaron with the pharaohs'.

In Fountaine IV's first 1835 list the present dish is recorded on shelf 1, which displayed 'Large Raphael ware dishes', as number 13, and it was described as 'Maria d'Aron sorella mis a faraoni. Ex. CXV'. The dish is listed in the second 'Family Book' inventory as number III:31. The entries for the dish in the 'Family Book' inventory and in the Narford Hall copy of the Christie's catalogue do not bear any annotated initials, suggesting that in all probability this dish formed part of the original 18th century core of the collection formed by Sir Andrew Fountaine (d. 1753).
