Object history

Duke of Chandos, Canons, Edgware, Middlesex; by descent in his family;^[1](Galerie Nissl, Vaduz); purchased 10 February 2000 through (Galerie Sanct Lucas, Vienna) by NGA.

↑ The dealer's invoice to the NGA gives the provenance as "The duke of Chandos, Stowe, thence by descent to the present owner." It has not been possible to determine which duke of Chandos first owned the painting. The first duke of Chandos was James Brydges (1673-1744); he received the title in 1719 and had a large picture collection at his estate, originally known as Cannons. After his two sons, his immediate family had no direct male descendants, and the Brydges connection was handed down through women in the family. The first duke's great-granddaughter, Anna Eliza [1779-1836], married Richard Nugent-Temple-Grenville [1776-1839], who held many titles, including 1st duke of Buckingham and Chandos. Anna Eliza took to her husband's seat in Stowe the bulk of her family's papers, which have been at the Huntington Library in San Marino, California, since 1925. The couple's descendants also used the Chandos title, and most of the dukes of Buckingham and Chandos collected paintings. See P.G.M. Dickson and J.V. Beckett, "The Finances of the Dukes of Chandos: Aristocratic Inheritance, Marriage, and Debt in Eighteenth-Century England," Huntington Library Quarterly 64, nos. 3 and 4 (2001): 309-355; Joan Johnson, Princely Chandos, James Brydges 1674-1744, London, 1984: 172, 175-176; C.H.
