Father Ian Dickie, archivist of the Diocese of Westminster, suggested that the painting was part of a group of objects from “the patrimony of Archbishop’s House” sold to raise funds for charity and that it might have been given to Archbishop’s House at the time of its completion in 1903; letter of November 12, 2003, in curatorial file]; offered for sale, through John Myers as agent, Sotheby’s London, March 24, 1971, no. 59, as Netherlandish School, withdrawn [according to an e-mail from George Gordon, Sotheby’s; October 24, 2003, and letter of November 23, 2003]. Julius H. Weitzner, Inc., London, 1972; sold to the Art Institute, December 1972.
