Anonymous sale, New York, Christie's, 6 June 2012, lot 9;
There acquired by Paul Kasmin. 
Anchise Tempestini endorsed the attribution of the present lot when last sold to Girolamo da Treviso's based on a photograph. He noted the similarities it shows to the artist's marble reliefs of Jacob's Sons Presenting him with Joseph's Bloodied Cloak and Joseph's Cup Found in Benjamin's Sack, executed for the façade of San Petronio, Bologna (1524). The figure of Eliezer closely compares in typology and drapery style to the Evangelists in the so-called Protestant Allegory in the Royal Collection, Hampton Court, of circa 1542-1544, while the architecture in the background of both pictures is also quite like.
