Object history Richard Dalton (original commission or gift of artist); London, Noel Desenfans, 1802-1807: London, Skinner and Dyke, Desenfans sale, 17 Mar. 1802, lot 69[a] ('Zuccarelli-Two Landscapes and Figures'. Descriptive Catalogue, no. 31: 'These two he painted in his youth, for his friend Mr. Dalton, keeper of his Britannic Majesty's pictures ... One represents a view in Italy, in the very height of summer. Near the centre is seen a cascade shedding it's water to the right and left; on one side, are some old trees, and two young women, one of whom is standing with a baket in the hand, whilst the other is seated with a child in her arms; on the right a man crosses the water with a herd of cows; and in the second ground, towards the centre, there is a house, near which some women, who have been washing, are hanging linen on lines to dry; buildings, and some other small figures, are also seen in the second ground. The other picture offers the view of another landscape, but in the depth of winter; the principal part is occupied by a river frozen over, upon which are seen several people, some skaiting, others walking, and a sledge drawn by mules. Upon a piece of ground, on the right, a tent is raised in form of an inn, with a sign and standard displayed; within, are people round a table, eating and drinking, and a fire, near which two women are standing, is on one side of the tent, and on the other, some old trees covered with snow, and near which a man is leading two oxen yoked. Again we distinguish on the second ground, to the left, some buildings and trees, and on the right, a village at a remote distance'). £27.6 for lots 69[a-b]. Handwritten note in copy of catalogue at The Hague, RKD: Ô4 1/2 3. [i.e. 4 1/2 x 3] -- Woman red Pettct, &c.' (It is unclear if this relates to lot 69[a] or 69[b]); London, Sir Francis Bourgeois, 1807-1811; Bourgeois Bequest, 1811.
