Heads in a Landscape (Cabezas en un paisaje)

In 1846 Vicente López made a record of this work in an inventory of the artworks housed in the Vista Alegre Palace (Carabanchel de Abajo, Madrid) while it belonged to María Cristina de Borbón. It was inherited by her daughter, the Infanta María Luisa Fernanda, who decided to sell the painting in 1859 to José de Salamanca y Mayol, ordering the transfer of many objects from the palace to the Palace of San Telmo in Seville to form part of the collection of the Duke and Duchess of Montpensier. The painting was inherited by their son, Antonio de Orléans y Borbón, the Duke of Galliera, in 1892. It must have travelled to Paris when still in the possession of the Duke, but was later sold by the Countess of Paris, consort to the merchant and collector Contini Bonacossi, from whom it was purchased by its current North American owner, Stanley Moss & Company.

It has been suggested that this painting was hung with the Black Paintings on the first floor of the house known as the Quinta del Sordo, on the left of the door to the room.
