Copy after an altarpiece (or from the same sitting as the altarpiece) of c. 1445-50: "Some major altarpieces for noble clients by Rogier van der Weyden are now lost. One, executed around 1445-1450, was a picture of the Madonna being venerated by the Duke and Duchess of Burgundy and their son. The Duchess, Isabella of Portugal, gave it to a monastery in Batalha in Portugal, where her father was buried...The original by Rogier van der Weyden of which this [painting on panel] is a copy must have been painted before 1451, the date of an anonymous altarpiece panel now in new York; the depiction of the female donor in the altarpiece was strongly influenced by the portrait of Isabella of Portugal, the characteristic necklace in particular matching in both arts. The description of Isabella as the "Persic Sibyl", top left, is a later addition." - http://www.wga.hu/frames-e.html?/html/w/weyden/rogier/18fracop/6isabell.html
