Spanish school, circa 1400

The prophet Daniel

Tempera on panel with gilding

35.1/4 x 10.5/8 in. (89.5 x 28 cm.)

Condition: The painting has been recently stabilised and cleaned up. There are missing pieces of the composition, It was decided not to infill these to retain an authentic integrity. The painting has cracked and there are chips. The gilding is faded and rubbed and there is possible earlier overpainting but overall it is a fine and very early work. There has been doubt regarding whether this is Spanish or Italian and we are investigating the coat of arms at the top of the composition. The panel has incised carved elements and it is possible it has come from a place of worship.
