While this English artist remains unknown, a certain degree provenance can be derived from the subjects and iconography of this painting. In all likelihood, this canvas depicts a group of gentleman negotiating matrimony between James Cavendish and Anne Yale. Further, it is believed that Elihu Yale (Anne Yale's father) is sitting in the center.
