George A. Lucas, Paris, 1864, by purchase [1]; William T. Walters, Baltimore, ca. 1864, by purchase; Henry Walters, Baltimore, 1894, by inheritance; Walters Art Museum, 1931, by bequest.[1] sold at the Hotel Drouot, Paris, 15 December, 1864, at an auction to benefit Pierre Faure, artist. Price listed in Lucas diary as 160 francs, price listed in the ""Moniteur des Arts,"" 130 francs. As this drawing appears in Walters' album of French drawings, we can assume he purchased it from Lucas shortly after the auction.
