Provenance

Art market, Florence, in or shortly after 1900;[1] (Leo Nardus, Suresnes, France, and New York); purchased 1905 by Peter A.B. Widener, Lynnewood Hall, Elkins Park, Pennsylvania;[2] inheritance from estate of Peter A.B. Widener by gift through power of appointment of Joseph E. Widener, Elkins Park, Pennsylvania; gift 1942 to NGA.

[1] On the back of a photograph of the painting (in the archives of the Biblioteca Berenson, Harvard University Center for the Italian Renaissance Studies, Florence) is a note in Bernard Berenson's handwriting: "With Dom. Morone, given me some 25 ys. ago by Langton Douglas, the original then for sale in Florence." The note is not dated, but it is probably from the mid-1920s, when Berenson was preparing his study on Domenico Morone. Langton Douglas, who either intended to buy the painting himself or acted as an intermediary, was frequently in Florence in the early 1900s; see Dennis Sutton, "Robert Langton Douglas," Apollo 109 (1979): 248-315.
