Kress Foundation, New York;[4] gift 1952 to NGA. [1] The Knoedler British Sales microfiche copy of the 1859 Northwick sale catalogue includes a marginal notation that the painting was subsequently purchased by Heathcote; a note at the beginning of the catalogue indicates that these corrections were taken from a "priced and named list" in the possession of the auctioneer, Mr. Phillips. C.B. Curtis, _Velázquez and Murillo_, London, 1883: 29, repeats this information. [2] The Sotheby's catalogue lists the purchaser as Malcolm, about whom nothing is known.
