Notes
Adopted in loving memory of Gerald Talbot White by his daughter, 2010
Fleeing Apollo, the nymph Daphne calls on the aid of her father, the river god Peneus, and is transformed into a laurel tree (Ovid, Metamoephoses, I). Both DPG176 and its pair DPG179 were attributed to Gérard de Lairesse until the signatures were discovered during cleaning in the 1940s.
