Probably Prince Johann II (died 1929), Liechtenstein, Vienna and Vaduz, acquired between 1873 and 1880 [according to an email to Margaret Crosland of September 12, 2013, from Arthur Stögmann, archivist of the Liechtenstein Princely Collections, who explains that the painting was acquired before 1880, based on a note in an inventory of 1900; it does not appear in the 1873 edition of Fürstlich Liechtensteinischen Gemäldegalerie]; probably by descent to Prince Franz Josef II, Liechtenstein; sold to Wildenstein and Co., New York, in 1961 [according to a letter of August 4, 1977, to Susan Wise from Reinhold Baumstark, then director of the Liechtenstein collection, copy in curatorial file]; sold on February 5, 1962, to the Art Institute of Chicago for $99,500.
