ProvenanceCreated Brussels, Flanders [present day Belgium], ca. 1660s. Francis Rawdon-Hastings (1754–1826), 1st Marquess of Hastings, by 1820; [his sale, John Robins, Donington Park, Leicestershire, England, March 1820, no. 207, as Fête du Village (Village Festival), by Teniers]; [1] probably by descent within the family, Donington Park; probably Henry Rawdon-Hastings (1842- 1868), 4th Marquess of Hastings; [probably his sale, Phillips, London, February 25, 1869]. [2] Possibly Dermot Robert Wyndham Bourke, 7th Earl of Mayo (1851–1927), London. Eileen A. Craufurd; [Sotheby’s, London, November 29, 1950, no. 152]; sold to Egmont; [David M. Koetser Gallery, New York]; sold to NCMA, 1952.

[1] According to the Getty Provenance Index and the single surviving, annotated copy of the catalogue, the sale appears to have been cancelled and most of the works remained in the Hastings collection for several decades.
[2] Confirmation that the work stayed in the Hastings family until 1869 is pending.
