This intimate scene of a mother and child sharing a secret, along with the free and spontaneous nature of this work, is likely how it entered into the collection of Gustave Soulier, professor of art and Director of the Institute of Fine Art of France in Firenze, Italia. It retains the stamp GS from the Gustave Soulier collection, lower left.
This piece was likely sold in the 1894 auction of Grévin's work, by his heirs. It doesn't have the auction mark or his signature, which means it was sold in bulk, probably with other peices of the same size and subject.
