Manet sold the painting to collector Charles Deudon in about 1881.  It was inherited by Deudon's wife on his death in 1914 and sold before 1919.  It came into the collection of Arthur Sachs (1880–1975), the son of Samuel Sachs and a partner in Goldman Sachs for many years.  It was then sold by M. Knoedler & Co to Paul Mellon in 1961, who donated it to the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC in 1971.
