Research History / Discussion

An illustration of this painting in the catalogue of Sergei Koudacheff’s collection from 1902 appears to show a certain amount of overpaint [Cat. Koudacheff, St Petersburg 1902, 24], which may have been carried out when the painting was cropped at the bottom to transform the biblical scene into a portrait of Sybille of Cleve. A later photograph from 1973 shows the paintings with the head of St John the Baptist, allowiing us to identify the woman as Salome. In a letter Werner Schade also presumes that the paintings [this one and the one sold at the Dorotheum, Vienna) are one and the same.

[Letter from W. Schade to D. Koepplin, 05.2012; Koepplin Archive]

[cda 2021]

It is possible that this painting is the one which was auctioned in 2012 at the Dorotheum in Vienna.
