Es gehört zur Sammlung, ist derzeit aber nicht ausgestellt.
According to the donor, the present piece - together with a further seven similar reliefs - originally came from an unidentified house in the City of London, which was to be demolished. Between 1878 and 1916 they were placed over fireplaces in 1 Lowther Gardens, Princes Gate, London.
On acquisition this group of reliefs was thought by the then Keeper of the Department of Architecture and Sculpture, Eric Maclagan, to be related to the work of John Bacon the Elder (1740-1799), but he considered them to be probably early 19th century. The original contexts are unknown.
