Provenance
William Young Ottley (1771-1836), by whom probably acquired in Italy (perhaps in 1791-99), thence by inheritance to,
his brother Warner Ottley (1775-1846), of York Terrace, Regent's Park, and Stanwell House, Middlesex, thence by descent to,his second son Edward John Ottley (b. 1821), Captain of the Royal Rifle Regiment of Mil.
Warner Ottley's deceased sale (sold by the Executors of Warner Ottley's Estate), London, Foster, 30 June 1847, lot 14, as 'School of Giotto. 1300. A set of four – Christ washing the feet of his Disciples; the Betrayal of Christ; the Mocking of Christ, and the Scourging of Christ', where unsold at 11 gns. and returned to the family (they did not appear again in the 1850 Warner Ottley sale).
Presented by Edward John Ottley to the Church of Saint Michael and All Angels, Withyham, East Sussex, in 1849 (the Rector of Withyham, the Rev. C.N. Sutton, states that the four pictures 'were brought from Italy by William Ottley, whose nephew presented them to the church in 1849'. Corroborating with this, each picture had a label on the reverse inscribed: DEO et ECCLESIE de WITHYHAM – Memoriale Edwardi J. Ottley. Arm. FEST. S. MICH. AD 1849).
The paintings hung in the chancel of the Church of Saint Michael and All Angels, Withyham, until the last quarter of the 19th century whereupon they were removed (possibly by Reginald Sackville West, 7th Earl De La Warr, and former Rector of the church) to the Earl De La Warr's private chapel at Buckhurst Park, Sussex (this happened sometime after the chapel was built in the 1880s but before 1902, when the Rector Rev. C.N. Sutton refers to their being at Buckhurst).
The paintings were returned to the Church of Saint Michael and All Angels, Withyham, in 1920 and hung there, on the South Wall of the Lady Chapel according to church pamphlets of 1960 and 1968, until 1990 whereupon they were removed and taken to the Courtauld Institute of Art, London, for restoration (1990-95).
On loan to Leeds Castle, Kent, from 1997.
Anonymous sale; Sotheby’s, London, 5 December 2012, lot 16, where acquired by the present owner.
