Arthur Hughes was a friend and regular house guest of George Birkbeck Hill (1835–1903), headmaster of Bruce Castle School and man of letters, whose granddaughter, Miss O. Hill, consigned the present lot for auction with Leonard Joel in 1980. As she recounted in correspondence with Terence Lane following his purchase of this painting, Hughes would often paint while with the Hills and presented small works to various members of the family as gifts, the present work having been one of several Hughes paintings in Birkbeck Hill's collection.
