Summary/Abstract: For over a hundred years in a private collection in Cracow there has been a distemper painting on parchment with an image of the Holy Family. Dark letters show through the faded front as the back was originally a document written in the Roman type. When the document expired, the other side of the parchment was used for a painting and the format was moved by 90 degrees. The document is a decorated copy of a church fair privilege given by pope Pius VI to the Bemardine Nuns in Lviv in 1777. At the bottom there is an authentication issued in the Obroszyn castle by a Lviv archbishop Waclaw Hieronim Sierakowski. Thus, both the copy and the authentication were issued jointly in Lviv Archbishop Curia in Lviv.
