The archives of The Society of the Sacred Heart contain no direct inventory record for this painting. Anecdotal evidence places it in the collection of the Society from at least 1918-1920, when the order moved from Moray Place to Craiglockhart, and the subsequent move to Dalkeith in the 1980s. The painting was displayed in the Oratory until its recent removal.
