Provenance: The Norwegian Commercial Attaché, Richard Zeiner-Henriksen (1878–1965), who lived in St. Petersburg 1922–1931. His interest in Russian art and antiques and his acquisitions used to create a Russian collection is well-known. His collection gained even more prominence when it was auctioned off at Bruun Rasmussen in June 2017, which resulted in world records on his icons worth millions of Danish kroner. This present icon was acquired in St. Petersburg by Richard Zeiner-Henriksen 1922–1931. Later, in 1957, he divested it to the Norwegian philosopher, historian, non-fiction writer and translator, Egil Anders Wyller (b. Stavanger 1925). In his ownership until today.
