Isabel Vaill Waldo (1842-ca. 1929) and August Hagborg (1852-1921) were contemporaries who lived and painted in Paris at the same time in the 1880s, and both exhibited at the Paris Salon. The painting was probably a gift from Isabel Waldo to her cousin Judge John B. Waldo and/or his wife Clara Humason Waldo in Salem, Oregon. Both John B. Waldo and his father Daniel Waldo were the subjects of other portraits painted by Isabel Waldo which are currently in the possession of the Oregon Historical Society. After John died, Clara passed the painting on to their daughter, Edith Waldo Johnson. She passed it on to her son, Judge Folger Johnson, Jr., who passed it on to his son, Brian Waldo Johnson.
