Source: Julia Lloyd Williams. Dutch Art and Scotland: A Reflection of Taste (Edinburgh: National Galleries of Scotland, 1992), p. 171.
Note: Francis Egerton died unmarried and left his property and titles to his nephew’s younger son, Francis Leveson-Gower (later named first Lord Ellesmere), but left his nephew, the first duke of Sutherland, his property as a life interest. Bridgewater and Stafford/Sutherland collections were combined at Cleveland house and separated upon the first duke of Sutherland’s death in 1833. George Granville Sutherland-Leveson-Gower seems to have kept this painting, rather than his brother Francis inheriting it.

Mrs. David Guggenheim (New York, New York)
Source: Christie's, London, Important Old Master Pictures, 8 July 1983, lot 92.
Note: This name may have been an error introduced to the provenance by the Christie’s London sale on July 8, 1983. Rebecca Pollard Logan, the owner in 1983, was previously married to Robert Guggenheim. Robert left his estate to her and she continued to live at their Washington D.C. residence until 1976. It is unclear if the painting left their collection upon Robert’s death in 1959 or if the inclusion of Mrs. David Guggenheim is a mistake for Mrs. Daniel Guggenheim, Robert's mother.

Mr. Francis Lenyon and Mrs. Francis Lenyon (Washington, D.C.)
Source: Christie's, London, Important Old Master Pictures, 8 July 1983, lot 92.
Note: These names may also have been an error introduced to the provenance by the Christie’s London sale on July 8, 1983. See details in the note for Mrs. David Guggenheim. Mr. and Mrs. Lenyon are only cited in the Christie’s catalogue and a clear connection has not been made to the Guggenheim or Logan families.
