Possibly John Collins Warren, Boston, Massachusetts. John Witt Randall, Boston, Massachusetts, 1840, bequest to Belinda Lull Randall, Boston, Massachusetts, 1892, gift to Fogg Art Museum, 1892. NOTE: The identity of the Lord Pensionary of Leiden remains unknown, there were only four men who held this position from 1700-1780: Joost van Heemskerk (1698-1701); Pieter Marcus (1702-1744); David van Roijen (1749-1753); and Jan Davidsz. van Roijen (1753-1780). See M. Prak, Gezeten burgers: De elite in een Hollandse stad Leiden 1700-1780, The Hague: De Bataafsche Leeuw, 1985. The provenance is taken from an inscription on the old mat which may be in Randall's hand. Acquisition and Rights Credit Line Harvard Art Museums/Fogg Museum, Gift of Belinda L.
