| Object history | Featured in 'The Connoisseur', vol. xxv, Jan. 1913, p. 38. A somewhat similar panel was sold at Christies, June 23rd 1921, for 20 guineas. It was inscribed 'Mary Smith, December ye 16, 1713'. After the Restoration, the art of rolled paper-work underwent a revival which reached its height during the first quarter of the 18th century. Heraldic themes such as this one were particularly popular. |
