Anonymous Sale; Sotheby's, London, 8 July 1930, lot 43.

Dr. Beck, to whom we are very grateful, notes that when the present lot was sold in 1930, it was not only signed and dated 164(7?), which would correspond with the style of the painting, but that it also included a horseman and attendant on a path.

Christie's charges a Buyer's premium calculated at 23.205% of the hammer price for each lot with a value up to €110,000. If the hammer price of a lot exceeds €110,000 then the premium for the lot is calculated at 23.205% of the first €110,000 plus 11.9% of any amount in excess of €110,000. Buyer's Premium is calculated on this basis for each lot individually.
