Whilst the present work is Netherlandish in origin and reveals the influence of artists active in Antwerp and Bruges in the 16th century, such as Jan Gossaert, Joos van Cleve or the Master of the Female Half-lengths, it may be that its author was in fact active in France. The painting of The Madonna and Child with the Infant Saint John the Baptist, now in the Musée des Beaux Arts, Dijon (inv. no. 2775) by Grégoire Guérard, a painter thought to be from Breda or Utrecht, but who worked throughout France and Burgundy, shows a similar use of decorative, Italianate architectural detail to frame the central composition.

We are grateful to Till-Holger Borchert for his kind assistance in cataloguing this work.
