 After the French Revolution, the Orleans collection was sold to a Brussels dealer by Louis Philippe II, Duke of Orléans in 1791, two years before he was guillotined.This dealer then exhibited many pictures from the collection (including the Titians) in London.The largest share of the collection was thus bought in 1798 by the coal-magnate Francis Egerton, 3rd Duke of Bridgewater, including this painting, Titian's "Diana and Callisto" (from the same mythological series of seven paintings), eight paintings by Poussin, three Raphaels and Rembrandt's "Self-Portrait, aged 51".
