It is recorded in the inventory of the collection of Guglielmo Gonzaga, Duke of Mantua in 1627 as hanging alongside Esther before Ahasuerus in a passage in the Palazzo Ducale in Mantua. It was acquired from the Gonzagas by Charles I of Great Britain. On his execution it was valued at £80 and sold, before being reacquired by the royal family on the Restoration. It now hangs in Kensington Palace.
