This version was bought by a private collection in 1995 and went on long term loan to the National Gallery in 2002.[1][2][3] After a loan of nearly 20 years the Gallery succeeded in purchasing the work for £22 Million in December 2019.[6] Upon completion it was hung in the Great Hall, opposite the 1628 version of Lot and His Daughters.It then entered the Castle Howard collection, and was only correctly identified after the existence of Gentileschi's second version in the Prado became known in England.[9] In October that year Arthur Hopton (English ambassador to Spain) wrote that the painting had been hung in the Salón Nuevo in the Royal Alcázar of Madrid.
