NOTES:
[1] According to handwritten notes and information provided by the Getty Provenance Index database (catalogue F-183).
[2] The catalogue incorrectly notes that the painting was in the "Geldermeester Cabinet." Seguier likely refers to the Seguier family of art dealers in London, run at this time by brothers William (b. 1772 – d. 1842) and John (b. 1785 – d. 1856).
[3] Sir Francis Cook lent this painting to the Guildhall Art Gallery (London, 1895), cat. no. 94.
