Notes
[1] William Harvey was a minor when he inherited. His uncle General Edward Harvey acted as his Guardian.
[2] Agnews stockbook July 27 1895.
[3] Alfred Beit bequeathed the painting to Völklein his cousin. It’s likely that after Völklein’s death it was transferred to Florence Olga Bennett Beit’s daughter. [see curatorial file with email and documentation from John Hilary]. The 2010 Murillo Catalogue Raisonne lists Otto Beit as the owner of the painting but it was published as Alfred Beit’s property in 1904. It’s unlikely Otto Beit owned the work.
[4] See Duveen Brothers Subdivision of Stock at May 31 1925 and copy of Amor’s invoice to Asquith in the Duveen records for the painting.
