 The painting 's known provenance begins in the 1830s when it was in the possession of the Radziwill family . According to art historian Sulpiz Boisserée , who saw the painting in 1832 , Antoni Radziwill found the painting in an estate his father owned . Waagen speculated that may have belonged to Mikolai Radziwill ( 1549 – 1616 ) who might have inherited it from his brother Jerzy Radziwill , ( 1556 – 1600 ) , who was a cardinal . The family kept it until 1920 when Princess Radziwill sold it to the Duveen Brothers in Paris . Philip Lehman bought it in October 1920 ; it is now held in the Robert Lehman collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art , in New York .
