According to a later owner, G. W. Eccles, it was bought by Mme Katharine Ruetz Jussen from Goupil, London dealers, in the early 1880s. However, this clashes with the apparent date of the portrait, suggested by the technique. It is difficult to date and may have been worked on by another hand.

Notes:

1: Dated 'about 1890' in YMSM 1980 [more] (cat. no. 394).
