Object Number 1946.112.12373
After a drawing by Karel Škréta.
note: the orange catalogue card notes the appearance of the Claghorn collector's stamp on the face of the mount, at lower right. A mount with a stamp is no longer present, but the mount was possibly removed at some point in the past. There are no conservation treatment reports on file. Claghorn is linked to this record as ex-collections related, though this is not with complete certainty, as the stamp is not visible.
