Judging by the number of known versions of the Veiled Virgin, this iconographic motif was very popular in mid-sixteenth-century Flanders. According to Georges Marlier, the lost original is the work of Jan Gossaert (c. 1478-1532), known as Mabuse, an important representative of the Antwerp Mannerist school (G. Marlier, La Renaissance flamande. Pierre Coeck d'Alost, Brussels, 1966, p.245). The Mauritshuis in The Hague holds a Virgin and Child by Mabuse dated circa 1520, in which the Child is twisted, playing with his mother's veil (inv. no. 830). The veiled Virgin is sometimes included in multi-figure compositions, such as the painting sold at Christie's in New York on April 15, 2008, lot 6.
