ProvenanceSaid to have been found in Rome [see note 1]. By 1892, Count Michal Tyszkiewicz (b. 1828-d. 1897), Rome [note 2]; probably sold by Tyszkiewicz to Edward Perry Warren (b. 1860- d. 1928), London; 1898, sold by Edward Perry Warren to the MFA for $69,618.13 [note 3]. (Accession date: September 20, 1898)
Notes:
[1] According to E. P. Warren’s records, Count Tyszkiewicz told him that the bronze statuette had been found in Rome. The statuette does not feature in the 1898 sale of the Tyszkiewicz collection by Rollin et Feuardent and must have been sold privately.
[2] The statuette features in W. Fröhner, La Collection Tyszkiewicz: Choix de monuments antiques avec texte explicatif (1892), pp. 17-18, pl. XX.
[3] This figure is the total price for MFA 98.641-98.940.
