Two More Miniatures from the Collection of Count Stroganoff

On several occasions in 2017 (here) and 2020 (here, here, and here) I blogged about illuminations from the collection of Count Stroganoff (shown above). In preparation for a visit to Stockholm next Spring, I have identified two more of his miniatures.

One is on the website of the Nationalmuseum, Stockholm, with images of both the front and back:

On the back at the bottom is the 'C.[ount] Gr.[igori] Str.[oganoff]' ink-stamp that we have seen in previous blogposts:

Having realised that the miniature comes from his collection, it was easy to find it in his 1910 auction catalogue, because it is not only described as the first item in lot 546:

but it is also reproduced:

 The second miniature described as part of the same lot is also reproduced:

And this can be recognised as Dr Jörn Günther Antiquariat, Katalog 3: Mittelalterliche Handschriften und Miniaturen (1995), no. 54:

The Stroganoff provenance has until now been unrecognised, but the parent manuscript has long been known to be in Kassel: Judith Anne Testa, The Stockholm-Kassel Book of Hours: A Reintegrated Manuscript from the Shop of Simon Bening, Acta Bibliothecae Regiae Stockholmiensis, 53 (Kungl. Biblioteket, 1992).
