When this pair of paintings last appeared at auction in 1995, they were catalogued as being among the first pictures acquired by Henry Hoare II for Stourhead House (loc. cit.), however the precise date of the paintings' acquisition remains unclear. This wonderful example of Pieter Angellis' work descended in the family to Sir Henry Ainslie Hoare, whose expensive hunting and gambling hobbies, combined with the agricultural depression of the 1880s, forced him to sell many of the treasures housed at Stourhead in 1883.
