Provenance

Adam Gottlieb Thiermann (d. 1859), Berlin (Lugt 2434); his Rembrandt collection sold by his widow en-bloc to the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin in 1861.
Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, Kupferstichkabinett (Lugt 1633), acquired from the above; with their de-accession stamp (Lugt 5998); their duplicate sale, R. Lepke, Berlin, 30 October 1871 (and following days), lot 1213 ('... in vorzüglichem II. Abdruck auf japanesischem Papier, mit Rändchen') (to Lepke).
With Rudolph Lepke, Berlin.
Probably Lobegott Friedrich Constantin von Tischendorf (1815-1874), Leipzig (without stamp and not in Lugt); presumably acquired from the above; then by descent.
With August Laube Kunsthandel, Zürich; acquired from the heirs of the above.
Sam Josefowitz (Lugt 6094); acquired from the above in 1979; then by descent to the present owners.
