Provenance:

Acquired by Richard and Erica Zeiner-Henriksen 1922–1927 in St. Petersburg. When they moved into the Saltykov Palace in St. Petersburg 1922, the portrait was situated in their residence as left inventory from the Saltykov family. The palace was originally a present from Tsaritsa Catherine the Great to Prince Nikolai Ivanovich Saltykov. It was a reward being the tutor of her grandsons, Tsarevich Alexander Pavlovich (I) and Grand Duke Konstantin Pavlovch, brothers of Grand Duchess Catherine Pavlovna. Therefore, it is possible that this portrait at first also was a present from the Imperial family to the Saltykov family
