Hofstede de Groot described this as the pendant to Two Gentlemen hawking at an Inn (op. cit., p. 340, no. 292), which was sold together with the present picture in a single lot for 5,000 francs in the Marquis de Montesquiou sale in 1788. Although it is unclear whether the two were painted as pendants, they were also sold as consecutive lots in the 1780 Tronchin sale (lot 54, described as a man dismounted from his horse with a young woman near a well, two boys in the background, with kitchen utensils and chickens in the foreground; the dimensions given are slightly smaller than those of the present picture) and in the 1869 Delessert sale (lot 108).
