Provenance
- Recorded Ownership History

David Bernhard Hausmann, Hannover (377), Collector. According to Lugt, the owner made a specialty of Dürer prints, focusing especially on watermarks to trace states, to the extent of publishing his conclusions in 1861. One wonders what he made of this print, without a watermark. Hausmann resolved to keep the cream of his Dürer collection together as an ensemble, but after his death in 1879 some Dürer impressions figured in a sale of other German prints from his estate. Then in 1931 the bulk of the Dürer print collection, including all of the important ones, which had remained with the famiily, was sold. Since the collector's mark was applied by Hausmann himself, we have no indication in which this print was included.
