It was likely exhibited at the Royal Academy, the final time he participated in the exhibition. It was later hailed by Narciso Sentenach as "one of the most brilliant examples of the mastery of the artist". [5] Today it is in the collection of the Cleveland Museum of Art, having been acquired in 1943. [6]
