Leon Potocki [1799-1864].[1] Sir George Donaldon [1845-1925], London; sold 1907 to William A. Clark [1839-1925], New York;[2] bequest 1926 to the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington; acquired 2015 by the National Gallery of Art.
[1] On the reverse of the painting is a paper label depicting a crown, plumes, a coat of arms, and the name "Leon Potocki."
[2] Dana H. Carroll, Catalogue of Objects of Fine Art and Other Properties at the Home of William Andrews Clark, 962 Fifth Avenue, Part I, Unpublished manuscript, n.d. (1925): 128, no. 60. Carroll writes that the painting belonged to "Prince Sotocke," likely an incorrect rendering of Leon Potocki's name.
