…; an English collection by c. 1860;{This is to be inferred from the picture’s treatment in London in the mid-nineteenth century. On the reverse of the neo-classical composition frame is inscribed ‘No 9/Front Room’. The same inscription is on the reverse of the frame of SK-A-4663.}…; anonymous sale, London (Christie’s), 25 October 1974, no. 57, with SK-A-4663, as Lambert de Hondt the Younger, 3,150 gns or £ 3,307 s10, to the dealer Terry-Engell, London, for the museum{An Agnew’s ‘waiting order’ label is stuck to the stretcher beneath Christie’s stencil; it looks of fairly recent origin. The number on the label is lost and therefore it would have been difficult to trace in Agnew’s records; the firm’s archive was sold to the National Gallery, and recent information from it remains embargoed. The label indicates that the owner consigned the paintings to Messrs. Agnew, who entered them for sale at Christie’s.}
