Note du spécialiste


The present picture was exhibited by Cooper at the Royal Academy in 1872 when it was purchased by David Jardine, a partner in Farnworth & Jardine, a Liverpool timber brokers. Jardine amassed a large collection of paintings, mostly through Agnew's, over 140 of which were sold in these Rooms in March 1917.
At some stage the picture was confused with another Cooper from the same year and part of the history of the two paintings has been merged in Kenneth Westwood's catalogue raisonné. It has been in the family of the current owner since at least 1940.
