Information about this portrait of Henry Fawcett by Ford Madox Brown can be found in the two volume catalogue raisonne by Mary Bennett, published by Yale University Press. Ford Madox Brown: A Catalogue Raisonne/ Mary Bennett. New Haven and London: Yale University Press, 2010 <http://librarycat.risd.edu/record=b1255231~S4> I've contacted the researcher separately, as Liv suggested, with further details but thought others might be interested in the source for future reference. Besides provenance and exhibition history there is also information about Henry Fawcett and his wife, the original frame for the painting, the person who commissioned the painting, plus many references to archival materials.
