## Exhibitions

[edit]

This painting can be seen hanging in a 19th-century sketch of the gallery of the Trippenhuis before the collection was moved to its present location in 1885

This painting has been considered a highlight of the collection since it was acquired in 1823 by William I of the Netherlands from the estate of Edmund Bourke in Paris and given to the Trippenhuis museum. It has been included in all Highlights of the Rijksmuseum catalogs since.[1]
