專家說明

This delicate depiction of a young Saint Agnes has been known since the 19th century, when it first appeared in the collection of Sir Richard Colt Hoare at his magnificent Palladian mansion in Salisbury, Stourhead, which he inherited from his father in 1785. Stourhead was acquired by the Hoare family in 1717, at which time the original manor house was demolished and a new house, one of the first of its kind, was designed by Colen Campbell and then built by Nathaniel Ireson between 1721 and 1725. Over the course of the following two centuries, Stourhead would remain in the Hoare family and was filled with an impressive art collection and distinguished library. It is possible that the present canvas arrived at Stourhead in the 1780s, when Sir Richard made two continental Grand Tours and numerous art acquisitions.
