Provenance

Paris art market; probably (sale, Hôtel Drouot, Paris, 5 March 1945, no. 41., repro.).[1] (Galerie Dina Vierny, Paris); purchased 18 July 1950 through John Rewald by Mrs. John Hay Whitney as a gift for her husband, New York;[2] gift 1998 to NGA.

[1]The 1960 Tate exhibition of the Whitney collection confused the provenance of this picture with one by the same title which was offered at the Hôtel Drouot, 27 February 1932, no. 62. The reproduction published in that sales catalogue confirms that it was not the Whitney painting. The reproduction published in the 5 March 1945 sales catalogue, however, appears to be Whitney painting.

[2]Acquisition information according to Whitney records now in NGA curatorial files.
