Possibly sold by (M. Guggenheim, Venice) to Louis Félix, vicomte de Nolivos [1805-after 1867], Paris;[1] probably (de Nolivos sale, Hôtel Drouot, Paris, 19-20 January 1866); Gustave Dreyfus [1837-1914], Paris; his estate; purchased 1930 with the entire Dreyfus collection by (Duveen Brothers, Inc., London, Paris, and New York);[2] purchased 15 December 1936 by The A.W. Mellon Educational and Charitable Trust, Pittsburgh;[3] gift 1937 to NGA. [1] A label removed from the object reads "M. Guggenheim, Antiquario, Calle de Fuseri No 4275, Venezia." [2] According to David Finley's notebook, donated to the National Gallery of Art in 1977 and now in Gallery Archives, the provenance also includes Charles Timbal [1821-1880], from whom Dreyfus is known to have purchased a large number of art works. However, Timbal's name does not appear in any other reference to the work. [3] The original Duveen Brothers invoice is in Gallery Archives, copy in NGA curatorial files; the sculpture is listed as by Luca della Robbia.
