Brooks of Knoedler, New York, wrote to Rudolf Heinemann (December 19, 1958) that the it was well-known, having belonged to Colonel Drax and the Royal Collections of France, and having "appeared at an auction in 1911." The dealer Frederick Mont also wrote (December 15, 1958) that the painting was well known to him, and that it had been in the collections of Colonel Drax and Louis Philippe. These details have not been onfirmed; however, in 1791, Louis-Philippe-Joseph (b. 1747 - d. 1793), Duc d'Orléans, sold a large group of paintings to Edouard Walkiers, a Brussels banker, for François de Laborde-Méréville. Méréville emigrated to England and sold the collection to Jeremiah Harman in 1793. (English)
