Provenance

presumably Mrs Eugenia Zarnowska, Paris; given by her in memory of her husband, Dr Jan Zarnowski, to Count Antoine Seilern, London (1901-1978), 2 December 1957; Princes Gate Bequest 1978 Count Seilern originally only catalogued D.1978.PG.145.1-.3, and according to his notes in the file only found these fragments later, writing "Apparently belonging with 145 a, b, c" so presumably came from the same source, though that is uncertain.
