Provenance
Probably François Sallé, by 1817; his sale, Paillet, Paris, November 27, 1817, lot 5 for 101 francs to Benoist Montigneul [Burton Fredericksen kindly suggested the connection to this lot, based on the date of 1651; annotated copy of the sale catalogue in the British Library, copy in curatorial file]. J. Louis Miéville, London, 1878 [according to Hofstede de Groot 1923]. Presumably Prince Paul Demidoff (died 1885) and later to his widow, Helena Troubetskoi, Pratolino, near Florence; his sale, Pillet, San Donato, March 15–April 10, 1880, lot 1071, bought in; included in the group of paintings from the Demidoff collection sold to the Art Institute using funds advanced by four trustees including Martin A. Ryerson (died 1932), Chicago; the picture was in Ryerson’s private collection and intermittently on loan to the Art Institute by 1894; bequeathed to the Art Institute, 1933.
