For some paintings that depend on intimacy or a stillness, large just won't cut it. For those pieces, small is the recipe for success.

Likely someone from a clerical family or a very pious person who had known the bishop as their parish priest. My father was an Episcopal priest, so I got to know several bishops on a personal level, and would dearly love to have a miniature of one of them who the whole family loved dearly.

I would guess the dirt and grime could be tested to see where it came from or consists of.... but maybe that's something one doesn't want to know really... ?
