A citation to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's own online catalogue record for its accessioned object M.81.90.2, read directly. Its strength is that LACMA is the institution that physically holds and catalogues the object, giving a first party account of its date, culture, medium, dimensions, credit line and school attribution rather than a secondary description. Its limit is that a museum object page is a summary catalogue entry rather than a dedicated scholarly monograph on this specific painting.
