Curatorial note
This painting was restored to its original position in the recreated 'Oratory' on the second floor in 2015. A vital piece of evidence in the 1837 copy of the inventory 'for the use of visitors' noted the location 'Oratory / wall next staircase' above framed works nos. P360-381 enabling us to identify it as having hung on the west wall.
