Object history given to Wawel Royal Castle by Tadeusz Frasik
Notes The Virgin is holding an apple symbol of salvation and redemption. The painting bears all characteristics of artist oevre when still working in Jan Mertens' atelier, including size of the figures filling the entire space of the foreground, the physiognomic types and lustrous colours.
