Object history

by 1825: Vaillant (Probably Christiaan Everhard Vaillant (1746-1829)), Amsterdam

1825: purchased by John Smith (art dealer), London, from Vaillant, Amsterdam for NLG 5,000

from 2 May 1828 until 3 May 1828: sale of the collection of John Smith at Stanley, London, lot no. 67,, for GBP 420 (as ‘Lot 67. Rembrandt. Jephthah and his Daughter. The judge of Israel, in compliance with his rash vow, is about to sacrifice his only child. The parties, according to modern notions, appear to be habited rather for the matrimonial than the sacrificial altar, for their dresses are of rich stuffs, and silks of great brilliancy, and the lady is adorned with pearls and jewels; but this is strictly in accordance with ancient custom. Rembrandt, however inelegant in his forms, is generally correct in his adaptations; no painter whatever tells his story with more thruth; no painter whatever has found a nearer way to the understanding. Instead of the cold common-place of covering the father's face with a robe or a veil to hide his grief, he has representing him with joyous countenance, mingled with affectionate regard, congratulating his daughter on the transit she is about to make, and, as far as human nature will permit, exhibiting signs of satisfaction that he has the fortitude to accomplish his vow. His daughter stands the willing as well as the devoted victim: oriental custom commanded andenforced obedience; and, in her case, piety and filial affection rendered obedience easy. This capital picture, painted in the artist's best time, is from the Collection of Monsieur Vaillant, of Amsterdam.’)
