The first owner of this drawing was Jean Lucas van der Dussen (1724-1773), who bought the Kasteel Groeneveld in Baarn, near Hilversum in the province of Utrecht, in 1755, later renovating and expanding the property significantly. The posthumous sale of his art collection at auction in 1774 included over 750 drawings, together with 37 paintings and more than 5,600 prints.
