Document source description
Two Romans watch as a girl who has refused to sacrifice to pagan deities is martyred by drowning. This copy of Delaroche's "Christian Martyr Drowned in the Tiber during the Reign of Diocletian" (1853, now in the Louvre, Paris) was begun by Delaroche but completed by Jalabert, his most devoted pupil. Such collaboration of student with master was a common practice during the 19th century.This painting is listed in the Goupil stock book for 1868 (number 3271) for 3000 francs, and was sold to Knoedler, New York City, in June of that year. It is likely that William T. Walters aquired this from Knoedler in new York, but more research is needed.
