ProvenancePossibly Joseph Maberly (b. 1783 - d. 1860), London [see note 1]. Henry Foster Sewall (b. 1816 - d. 1896; Lugt 1309), New York; 1896, by inheritance to his son, Charles Sewall (b. 1848 - d. 1898); 1897, sold by Charles Sewall to the MFA [see note 2]. (Accession Date: April 11, 2022)

NOTES:

[1] A note on the mat of P8221, transcribed from an earlier mount, states: "Probably all of this series came from Joseph Maberly's collection, according to Mr. Sewall."

[2] Henry F. Sewall offered his collection to the MFA for purchase in 1888. That purchase was finalized in 1897, one year after Sewall's death.
