Eliška Fučíková, an art historian and an expert on Rudolfian paintings, identified the artist as Daniel Fröschl. The artist was initially employed by the Medici family, and then from 1607 onwards, at the court of Rudolf II as an administrator of the Kunstkammer, where he had the opportunity to study the works of German early 16th century painters. The work belongs to the "Dürer Renaissance." Besides the influence of Dürer himself, we may observe that the artist was inspired by the Madonnas of Lucas Cranach. Oil on canvas, rentoiled. Assessment by PhDr. Eliška Fučíková CSc.; Colour analysis by Dorothea Pechová; Report of restoration by Martin Martan.
