Footnote

(1) It is unknown when the painting entered the collection of the de Ligne family, one of the oldest noble families in Belgium, whose principal residence since 1394 was the castle at Beloeil. In the eighteenth century, Claude Lamoral II (1685–1766), 6th prince de Ligne, transformed the fortified castle into a luxurious country estate. Inspired by Louis XIV’s Versailles, it was elegantly furnished as a French château, housing the family’s art collection. It is therefore possible that Desportes’s painting entered the family’s collection at that time, possibly even acquired directly from the internationally admired artist.
