Artwork history & notes
Provenance
(Cross sale, Hôtel Drouot, Paris, 28 October 1921, no. 24). (sale, Hôtel Drouot, Paris, 16 May 1922).[1] (Léopold Zborowski [1889-1932], Paris). Possibly (Bernheim-Jeune, Paris), before 1932.[2] R. Baudoin.[3] (Kleimann et Cie., Paris); purchased 1950 by John Hay Whitney [1904-1982], Manhasset, New York;[4] deeded 1982 to the John Hay Whitney Charitable Trust, New York; gift 1982 to NGA.
[1] Of seventeen sales held at the Hôtel Drouot on this date, only that held in Salle 10 included modern paintings. The results of that sale published in the Gazette de l'Hôtel Drouot on 18 May 1922 do not include any works by Cross.
[2] Reproduced in Lucie Cousturier, H.E. Cross, Paris, 1932, pl. 1, with no collection given; however, the photograph was supplied by Bernheim-Jeune.
[3] Zborowski and R. Baudoin, according to Isabelle Compin, H.E. Cross (Paris, 1964): 122. Henri Baudoin [1876-1963] was a commisseur-priseur in Paris from 1908-1942; it is unclear if R. Baudoin is related to Henri Baudoin.
[4] Whitney acquisition source and date according to information sent 4 April 1984 from the Whitney Foundation, in NGA curatorial files.
