Countess Lehon’s collection, in 1855 (according to the Salon catalogues);
Possibly the Lehon sale, Paris, (Me Delbergue), 31 March – 2 April 1856.
Exhibitions:
*The Spinner*, 1842 Salon, no. 1201 (Chiaruccia, according to the 1855 Salon catalogue);

Our two paintings are probably part of a series of Italian peasant women painted by Lehmann during his stay in Italy, or shortly after his return to France, such as the Young Woman with a Lamb which appeared at the auction on 18 March 2010 (Christiania auksjoner) in Oslo, lot 772, reproduced.
