The first documented owner of this landscape was Thomas Walker (fl. 1711 - 1739), a civil servant and member of the Society of the Virtuosi of St. Luke, a group of London elites who met to discuss art and taste. According to George Vertue, the Society's archivist, Walker advised other members of the group on their acquisitions of Italian paintings. Boisclair dates the present pastoral scene to the last years of Dughet's career, when his style became more evocative of form rather than descriptive.
