ProvenancePossibly Johann Nepomuk Ernst Harrach (b. 1756 - d. 1829; see Lugt 1282) [see note]. November 1998, sold by Helmut Rumbler (dealer), Frankfurt, to the Hearn Family Trust, New York; consigned by the Hearn Family Trust to Susan Schulman Fine Art, Inc., New York; 2022, sold by Susan Schulman Fine Art to the MFA. (Accession Date: February 16, 2022)

NOTE: Harrach mounted many of his prints to characteristic cream-colored cards, similar to the one this print is on. Prints mounted in this way often do not bear Harrach’s collector’s mark, which this likewise lacks.
