Object history |
Possibly in the collection of Sir Peter Lely, d. 1680; Possibly his sale 18th April 1682 (bt. by Lord Newport, 1st Earl of Bradford (1619-1708) ); Richard Graham (fl. 1695-1727) until sold in his sale, Peletier London, 6 March 1712, lot 41, bt by Sir Francis Child the Younger (1684-1740); by descent to his nephew Robert Child (1739-1782) of Osterley Park; by descent to his grand-daughter Lady Sarah Sophia Fane (1785-1867) who married George Child-Villiers, 5th Earl of Jersey and 8th Viscount Grandison (1773-1859) of Osterley Park, Middlesex and Middleton Park, Oxfordshire; by descent sold at Sotheby's, London, 2009, sale by the collector Alfred Bader and art dealer Philip Mould. These offered the painting in 2010 to the National Portrait Gallery and the Tate Museum in London for £9,500,00. The museums were unable to raise the necessary funds and in 2013 Bader and Mould arranged a private sale with the art collector James Stunt, for £12,500,000. Stunt lives in Los Angeles for much of the year and was obliged to apply for an export license. The UK government placed a three month export ban on the painting to allow an attempt to raise the funds to buy the painting for the nation. Stunt, noting the public support for the campaign, withdrew his application for an export license. Finally the National Portrait gallery purchased the painting in 2014 with the aid of £1.44 million donated by more than 10,000 individuals, £1.2 million donated by two private trusts, and a £6,343,500 grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund. |
