The present drawing, along with a painting of Aeneas and Creusa, dated circa 1771 (New York Historical Society) are the only two known subjects West took from Virgil's Aeneid.
The 4th Earl of Warwick amassed a great collection of Old Master and British drawings. Begun by his uncle Sir Charles Greville (1763-1832, L. 549), who served alongside the first Duke of Wellington, under George Guy Greville, 4th Earl (1818-1893) the collection was expanded and enriched. The majority, a group of 454 drawings, was sold in these Rooms on 20 and 21 May, 1896.
