Provenance

Private collection, London

The work, executed in landscape format, may have been part of a series dedicated to the Ten Commandments, to judge by the Latin inscription reading “PRÆCEPTVM .V. non occides” (FIFTH COMMANDMENT: thou shalt not kill). Although this is the first panel discovered from this hypothetical series, the execution of the clothing and the postures of the figures are highly reminiscent of previously-discovered works by the artist.
