The final version (Type B) ... has a lot 140a (a drawing) and lots 71-73 are radically changed, either to a different artist or title or both."--Getty Provenance Index databases.

According to Getty Provenance Index databases, "it is almost certain that there were more than two consigners and for the most part it has not proven possible to identify them." Sir George Bower and Thomas Jones, a banker, are named as possible consigners. See Description of sale catalog Br-1294.
