Possibly Stanley Yates Mortimer Sr. (1854-1932); possibly by descent to Stanley Yates Mortimer Jr., Class of 1919 (1897–1984) [1]; gift to the Princeton University Art Museum, 1961.

[1] Stanley Mortimer Jr. Inherited a large collection of European art from his father, Stanley Yates Mortimer, Sr. (1854-1932), and donated works to The National Gallery of Art, The Princeton University Art Museum, and The Metropolitan Museum of Art. See Steven M.L. Aronson, "A Life in the Country: Patrician bohemians Barbara and Stanley Mortimer look back on a charmed circle of family and friends," House and Garden [April 1984]: 165-171, 230, 232.)
