The painting came to Quebec City between 1901 and 1908, owned by Henriette and Geneviève Cramail.  After David's death in 1825, the painting entered the collection of Cardinal Joseph Fesch, and then in the collection of  Cramail sisters' grandfather, the history and genre painter Gustave Mailand (1810-1880).It was donated by the sisters to the parish of Notre-Dame de Québec in 1938, to replace works of art that were lost in a fire at the cathedral in 1922. From 1995 to 2013, the painting was on display at the National Gallery of Canada. It was subsequently in storage at the Musée de la civilisation in Quebec City for conservation. It currently hangs in the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA).
