Anonymous sale, London, Sotheby's Olympia, 25 January 2007, lot 23.
This painting may be compared with a similar composition at the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford.1 The pose of the reclining woman, seen from the back in both cases, is slightly different but the model appears to be the same, judged from her bodily frame and hairstyle, here enhanced by a decorative comb.
