Sir John Charles Robinson [1824-1913], London; [4] sold 1868 to Sir Francis Cook, 1st Bt. [1817-1901], Doughty House, Richmond, Surrey; [5] by inheritance to his son, Sir Frederick Lucas Cook, 2nd Bt. [1844-1920], Doughty House; by inheritance to his son, Sir Herbert Frederick Cook, 3rd Bt. [1868-1939], Doughty House; by inheritance to his son, Sir Francis Ferdinand Maurice Cook, 4th Bt. [1907-1978], Doughty House, and Cothay Manor, Somerset; sold July 1947 to (Gualtiero Volterra, London) for (Count Alessandro Contini-Bonacossi, Florence and Rome); [6] sold July 1948 to the Samuel H. Kress Foundation, New York; [7] gift 1952 to NGA. [1] According to Tancred Borenius, citing Sir John Charles Robinson, (_Memoranda on Fifty Paintings_, London, 1868: 6, no. 7), in _A Catalogue of the Paintings at Doughty House Richmond & elsewhere in the Collection of Sir Frederick Cook Bt, Visconde de Monserrate. Volume 1, Italian Schools_, ed. by Herbert Cook, 3 vols., London, 1913-1915: 1(1913): no. 54. [2] According to the 1859 Northwick sale catalogue. "A. Hope" was probably either Adrian Elias Hope [1772-1834] or his nephew, Adrian John Hope [1811-1863], the son of the elder Adrian's older brother, Thomas Hope. [3] The 2nd baron Northwick lent the painting to the British Institution in 1839. [4] Included in Robinson's _Memoranda..._, (see note 1) as by Lo Spagna. Robinson sold most of the paintings in this catalogue to Cook in early 1868. [5] Included in Borenius' catalogue of the Italian paintings in the Cook collection (see note 1), as School of Perugino. [6] See copy of correspondence in NGA curatorial files, from the Cook Collection Archive in care of John Somerville, England. Volterra was Contini-Bonacossi's agent in London. [7] The Kress Foundation made an offer to Contini-Bonacossi on 7 June 1948 for a group of twenty-eight paintings, including NGA 1952.5.81, identified at the time as by Perugino. The offer was accepted on 11 July 1948 (see copies of correspondence in NGA curatorial files).
