[1] According to the Oppenheimer sale catalogue our drawing was from the “(?) Philipe Collection ” which Hans Ulrich Beck interpreted to be T. Philipe - presumably Thomas Philipe of London whose sales occurred in the early 19th century. However the verso inscriptions demonstrate that the first or second Baron Selsey purchased the drawing at Jennings’s sale in 1778. It remained in the family until 1872 excluding Philipe’s ownership. Furthermore William Robinson (Amsterdam et. al 1991 cat. no. 34) and Beck previously published this drawing with provenance including Alfred Brod in 1963. Robinson identified our drawing with cat. no. 57 in Brod’s catalogue of that year; however the Brod drawing is a different drawing by Molijn which is signed and dated 1659.
