Provenance
Probably Sir William Pilkington, 8th Bt. (died 1850), Butterton Hall and Chevet Hall, Wakefield, Yorkshire, from about 1846 [according to letter from Edward Speelman to Daniel Rich, dated May 8, 1946; copy in curatorial file]; by descent in the Pilkington family to Sir Arthur William Milborne-Swinnerton-Pilkington, 13th Bt. (died 1952), Chevet Hall, Wakefield, Yorkshire [according to letter cited above]; sold to Edward Speelman, London, by May 1946 [according to letter cited above, the painting may have had a pendant, now untraced, since a photograph of “A Regatta on the Grand Canal” in the curatorial file is labeled “22 x 33 ½ inches; offer for £1800 – 15 Sept. 1950 by Ed. Speelman Ltd.” and “pendant picture by Marieschi”]; sold to the Art Institute, 1946.
