This fine painting and its pair PIC159 were recorded by Brownlow, 9th Earl of Exeter (1725-1793), as by Angelo Battaglia, a name unfamiliar to modern art historians.
They were probably acquired in Naples by either Brownlow, 9th Earl of Exeter (1725-1793), or his great grandfather John, 5th Earl (1648-1700), whilst on the Grand Tour.
