pácolt berakott díszíí reneszánsz stíles keretben, amelyből a berakás kihullott. Német, XVI. sz[ázad]. v[égej. The dimensions given in the inventory: length 0.40. width 0.171 m. The latter measurement is clearly a mistake. The length of the frame with the hinges (see below) should presumably have been recorded as 0.71 meters.

44 Deletion number: 16-1/62.

45 At the same time, the large-scale revision may have been somewhat superficial; many objects deleted from the inventory were later found.

50 Nouspensonspar contre que (...) notre tableau serait passé lui aussi de la dite collection au Musée National. A plus forte raison qu’en 1825 il ne figuráit pas encore dans la collection de ce musée, et qu 'a notre avis il est identique avec le tableau peint sur marbre, enregistré en 1838.
