According to Chalmer Smith, an impression of the mezzotint in Mr Warwick's collection was inscribed 'Hannah, Mercier's maid' (J. Ingamells and R. Raines, op. cit.).

Senator Edward McGuire bought Newtown Park, Blackrock, Co. Dublin, in 1946 and formed a notable collection of 17th and 18th Century paintings. In 1976 the house was sold and Christie's, in conjunction with Hamilton & Hamilton Ltd., held a sale of the contents on 20-22 September that year.
