- Royal Collection (Collection of Felipe V, Quinta of the Duke of Arco, El Pardo-Madrid, “decimotercia pieza de verano”, 1745, [n. 410]; Quinta of the Duke of Arco, “pieza duodécima”, 1794, n. 365)
For some time, the sitter was thought to be the poet, Baltasar Eliseo de Medinilla, although this interpretation has now been rejected.
This work comes from the country home of the Duke of Arco at El Pardo (Madrid).
