Circumstances of Destruction or Loss	In 1939, the portrait, along with a number of other works, was transferred from the Czartoryski Museum in Krakow to Sienewa for safekeeping. Discovered by the Gestapo in December of 1939, the portrait, Leonardo da Vinci's Lady with an Ermine, and Rembrandt’s Landscape with Good Samaritan, ended up in the hands of Hans Frank, who was the Nazi appointed governor of Poland. When Frank was arrested by the Allies in March of 1945, the Da Vinci and Rembrandt were found to be in his possession, but the Raphael has not been seen since.
