Where acquired by the present owner.
A highly comparable dog, adopting similar poses, appears in portraits by Gonzales Coques in the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City,1 the Wallace Collection, London,2 in a picture previously with Johnny van Haeften, London,3 and in a work in the Royal Collection, London.4 The Royal Collection picture is signed and dated 1664, while Marion Lisken-Pruss has dated the other pictures to c. 1657, c. 1662/63, and c. 1663, respectively.5 It is therefore possible to suggest that the present work dates to a similar period.
