拍品專文

Hofstede de Groot, under his no.214, describes the present picture as having been in the Perkins Collection, presumably a reference to the collection of Frederick and George Perkins, sold in these Rooms on 14 June 1890. This must be a confusion as there seems no reason to doubt that the painting had been bought by Martin Colnaghi for Stephenson Clarke at the sale in these Rooms a month earlier. For the activities of Stephenson Clarke as a collector, see the catalogue of the sale in these Rooms, 11 December 1992, p.163
