This drawing was one of 11 claimed in an anonymous phone call to the museum to be by notorious forger Eric Hebborn (1934–1996). It was purchased as an authentic drawing by Flemish artist Anthony van Dyck, with the stamp of famed collector Pierre-Jean Mariette (1694-1774) in the lower left corner lending it credibility. Recent doubts have been raised about the quality of the draughtsmanship and authenticity of the stamp, and the paper border of the mount appears to have machine-made features that would post-date Mariette’s death.

Details his embarrassment at missing that this drawing had a Mariette mark and put it an afternoon sale at Sotheby's in 1963 (usually afternoon was for lesser drawings). Hans Calmann and Yvonne Bunzl were bidding against each other for it, and though Yvonne spent her full budget on this one drawing, she made a small profit when she sold it to Count Seilern. Day incorrectly recalls the sale on 1963 but it was in 1969.
