Probably Miguel de Alava [1771-1843], Vitoria, Spain;[1] Ricardo Alava, Madrid; sold c. 1902 to (Joseph Wicht, Madrid); sold in 1902 through Mary Cassatt to Henry Osborne Havemeyer [1847-1907], New York;[2] his widow, Louisine W. Havemeyer, [née Elder, 1855-1929], New York; by descent to their daughter, Mrs. P.H.B. Frelinghuysen [née Adaline Havemeyer, 1884-1963], Morristown, New Jersey; gift 1963 to NGA. [1] Aureliano de Beruete, _Goya, pintor de retratos_, English ed., Boston and New York, 1922: 148-149: "This portrait was in the possession of the descendants of the General Alava, who fought at Wellington's side against the French, which makes us think it was either a present from the general to his companion at arms, or a commission of the Spanish soldiers who wished to have the portrait of his general-in-chief." [2] Louisine W. Havemeyer, _Sixteen to Sixty: Memoirs of a Collector_ , New York, 1961: 153, 156-157, refers to Wicht as "W." Copies of the correspondence between Wicht and Mary Cassatt, Havemeyer's agent, are in the NGA curatorial files.
