V.20.L'; also on the back J. Barnard's initials and the number '620' in his hand; also in a different hand 'Cholmondley' Red chalk; cut across the top corners 8 x 5 3/4 (203 x 146) Dyce 326 PROVENANCE J.

Uvedale Price; Sir Joshua Reynolds (Lugt 2364); Dyce Bequest 1869 LITERATURE Dyca Catalogue no. 326 (as anonymous, ascribed to Annibale Caracci) The drawing probably has the same history as no. 1040 below since entering John Barnard’s collection, and it may be assumed therefore that Uvedale Price owned it before Reynolds.
