Sir George Donaldson [1845-1925], London, by 1902;[1] (his sale, London, 1906); purchased 1907 by William A. Clark [1839-1925];[2] bequest 1926 to the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington; acquired 2014 by the National Gallery of Art.

Jahrhunderts_, 10 vols., Esslingen and Paris, 1907-1928: 7(1918):501, no. 568. J.A. Viccars, who explains his reasoning in correspondence with the Corcoran Gallery of Art in 1967 and 1984/1985 (five letters in NGA curatorial files), suggests that Hofstede de Groot's numbers 551 and 567, as well as 568, are all the same painting. No. 551 is noted as being no. 69 in the Van Leyden sale in Paris on 10 September 1804. No. 567 is noted as being no. 118 in Madame de Falbe's sale at Christie's in London on 19 May 1900; Viccars writes that the painting was bought at this sale by the London dealer P. and D. Colnaghi.
