This painting once belonged to James J. Hill (1838-1916), the Minnesota railroad magnate whose collection of European paintings forms the basis of the Institute's nineteenth-century holdings.
Recent conservation of this picture was made possible by a generous contribution from Barbara and Joseph Ali, Mary Grahek and Mike Zimmerman through the Adopt-a-Painting program.
