ProvenanceThe artist, 1796; Raphael ben Abraham Pardo Roques and Blanca bat Emanuel Pardo Roques, 1796; Abraham Halpern (1936-2017)(1); [Sotheby’s New York, The Halpern Judaica Collection: Tradition and Treasure, Part III, Dec. 14, 2023, lot 146]; purchased by MFAH, Dec. 14, 2023.

He loaned to important exhibitions including Sephardic Journey, 1492-1992 and Ashkenaz: The German Jewish Heritage, both held at the Yeshiva University Museum, and had many of his purchases featured in Jay Weinstein’s seminal 1985 publication A Collector’s Guide to Judaica.
