Catalogue Note
This painting was identified as the pendant to the painting in the Natale Labia collection while the latter was on exhibition at Wildenstein, London from April to May 1978. The staffage in both this and the Natale Labia picture is painted by Adriaen van de Velde with whom Moucheron collaborated on many occasions.
A note on the provenance: at the 1950 Christie's sale the painting was sold by Order of the Trustees of the late The Rt. Hon. Lord Hillingdon. However the 3rd Baron Hillingdon did not die until over two years later on 5 December 1952 and his father, the 2nd Baron, had died in 1919.
