Collection Details Sold by J H Ward at Christie’s, 14
June 1907, lot 54, as Bissolo: bt by Agnew for Alexander Henderson, later
lst Lord Faringdon.
Background The painting is largely retouched. The attribution
is due to Prof E K Waterhouse, but it is difficult to find parallels with
secure portraits of women by Ingannati (eg, that in the Kress collection).
The previous attribution to Bissolo has something to commend it. The costume
would date it to c.1520–30. << Back
