174 x 244 cm, painted around 1940-41
This was sold in 1941 to van Beuningen, again via Strijbis and Hoogendijk, for 1,600,000
guilders, about 4M GB pounds today. Van Beuningen paid for the work not in cash but in
other, "lesser", paintings from his collection, including, ironically, the Head
of Christ.
See also the first version of the Last Supper, which was allegedly not discovered until 1949.
