Provenance

Possibly Pierre Daguerre, Bayonne and Amsterdam in the early eighteenth century; possibly by inheritance to his daughter, Marie-Anne Daguerre Harader, Itxassou, near Bayonne, mid-18th century;[1] parish church, Itxassou; (D.A. Hoogendijk, Amsterdam, by 1937).[2] J.A.G. Sandberg, Wassenaar; (Wildenstein & Co., New York); sold 1954 to the Samuel H. Kress Foundation, New York; gift 1961 to NGA.

[1] This early provenance was prepared by Robert Poupel, Cambo-les-bains, France (letter, 13 June 1970, in NGA curatorial files). He writes that during the seventeenth century Bayonne carried on a thriving sea trade with the Netherlands. Pierre Daguerre, who married Elisabeth de Papenbroeck, the daughter of one of the Dutch settlers in Bayonne, lived for a period in Amsterdam where he acted as the "King's agent in the City of Amsterdam." Poupel believes that Daguerre purchased the painting and then passed it to his daughter Marie-Anne Daguerre. In the 1720s she married Jacques de Harader, squire of Lassale-Vignolles, who owned extensive landed estates at nearby Itxassou. Although no written records exist, he believes that the Daguerre-Harader couple presented the painting to the local parish church.

[2]Lent by Hoogendijk to 1937-1938 exhibition held in Rotterdam and Amsterdam.
