It is recorded in the inventory of the collection of Guglielmo Gonzaga, Duke of Mantua in 1627 as hanging alongside Esther Before Ahasuerus in a passage in the Palazzo Ducale in Mantua.

It was acquired from the Gonzagas by Charles I of Great Britain.

On his execution it was valued at £80 and sold, before being reacquired by the royal family on the Restoration.

It now hangs in Kensington Palace.
