Provenance

• 1870s: possibly given to Frances Leyland (1834-1910);
• Before 1910: possibly acquired by William Cleverly Alexander (1840-1916), London;
• 1916: possibly bequeathed to Rachel Alexander (1875-1964) and Jean Ingelow Alexander (1877-1972);
• 1958: given by the Misses Alexander to the British Museum.

The history of this drawing before 1958 is uncertain. According to the Pennells, the drawing was in the Estate of Frances Leyland (1834-1910) in 1921. 1 There is no record of the date of its acquisition by W. C. Alexander or his daughters. However, if it was owned by Mrs Leyland earlier (that is, before her death in 1910) it would still fit with the subsequent information.
