Provenance: These panels have been in the same family since before the second world war.The present panels are almost identical to those of an altarpiece sold at Sotheby's, 3 July 2012, lot 62, £13,750. The depiction of Christ, the palm leaves at the top of the cross, the rocky base the supports it and the two soldiers at the foot of the cross are all directly comparable. The position of the figures of Mary and John are also very similar with the same arrangement of drapery. It is therefore highly probable that it came from the same workshop as the Sotheby's altarpiece.
