Catalogue Note
This work was formerly in the collection of Sir Thomas Baring (1772-1848) who, in 1810, inherited Stratton Park along with his late father's collection of Dutch cabinet paintings and works by Turner, Augustus Wall Callcott and other contemporary British artists. In 1812 these works were sold to the Prince Regent , later King George IV, with Sir Thomas Baring keeping only a select few paintings for his own collection, of which this was one (see C. White, Pictures in the Collection of H.M. the Queen: The Dutch Pictures, 1982, pp. LXIV-LXVII).
