Provenance

Pierre-Hippolyte Aumont [d. 1865], by 1846.[1] Probably (sale, Hôtel Drouot, Paris, 6 May 1870, no. 5, as Vue dans la forêt de Nettuno).[2] Private collection, France; (sale, Drouot Richelieu, Renaud-Giquello & Associates, Paris, 17 October 2003, no. 52); (Richard L. Feigen & Co., New York); purchased 27 February 2004 by NGA.

[1] According to the 2003 sale catalogue, Pierre-Hipppolyte Aumont likely owned this painting at the time he lent its pendant, Vernet's Hunting in the Pontine Marshes (NGA 1989.3.1), to an 1846 exhibition at the Bazar Bonne-Nouvelle.

[2] Bruno Chenique has suggested that this is the NGA painting, sold together with NGA 1989.3.1, which was lot 4, Chasse dans les marais Pontins, in the sale catalogue.
