Gustave Fayet [1865-1925], Igny, France, by 1905.[1] Gerald Brooks [d. 1936], New York; by inheritance to Mrs. Helen Brooks; sold June 1936 to (Marie Harriman Gallery, New York);[2] her husband, The Hon. W. Averell Harriman [1891-1986]; W. Averell Harriman Foundation; gift 1972 to NGA.
[1]Lent by Fayet to an exhibition in Weimar in 1905. Fayet, a collector and friend of artists, had a number of van Goghs and Gauguins in his possession. In 1908, when he and his wife acquired the Abby of Fontfroid, he sold some of the collection. This painting is not described in J.-G. Goulinat, "Les Collections Gustave Fayet," L'Amour de l'Art 6 (1925), pp. 131-142 so perhaps was sold prior to that date. [2]According to Marie Harriman Gallery inventory card in NGA curatorial records, Mrs. Brooks sold this and six other objects to Harriman in June 1936.
