Purchased by Count Francis Esterhazy in the 1920s, traditionally from a sale by the Soviet government of works of art, and thence by descent.

專家說明

In the 1920s, when the young Soviet government was short of foreign currency, they attempted to alleviate the problem by selling art from the collections of the former imperial family, the aristocracy, and museums. By family tradition, these bronzes were purchased in one of these sales, although documents of the period are incomplete, and it has not been possible to confirm the provenance to date.
