The present painting belonged to the prestigious collection of the Neapolitan Giovanni Andrea de Marinis (1755-1824), Marchese of Genzano, whose paintings had been admired by esteemed foreign Grand Tourists and were described by writers of the time. The inventories include paintings by Van Dyck, Rembrandt and Rubens, as well as Bassano and various Roman painters of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The adventurous life of de Marinis, witness to the revolutionary events in Naples of the late eighteenth century, was recounted by biographers of the time. After the death of his wife, Isabella Caracciolo di Martina, and his son, Filippo, who was executed in Naples as anti-Bourbon, De Marinis in 1824 left his daughter Maria Constanza, who married Giuseppe di Sangro, Prince of Fondi, as sole heir. The painting remained in the collection of the Princes of Fondi until 1895.
