The original is now at teh Historical Society of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, the gift of Granville Penn, descendant of the founder. "The artist has several contemporaries named Joshua Longstreth. This one was probably the father-in-law of his friend Richard Price. In a letter to the latter, Hicks refers to his elderly friend as 'having a taste for farming and cattle,' and describes the print source of these works as 'the handsomest English landscape I ever saw.' That it was the final resting place of his great here, Penn, increased its appeal. The bull's darkening coat may reflect the painter's sense of his own approaching death" (Mather, pp. 184-186).
