Provenance

Eugène Piot [1812-1890], Paris; (his sale, Hôtel Drouot, Paris, 21-24 May 1890, no. 337).[1] Maurice Kann, Paris; (Duveen Brothers, Inc., London and New York), 1908, as part of the Kann collection; purchased February 1910 by Peter A.B. Widener, Lynnewood Hall, Elkins Park, Pennsylvania; inheritance from Estate of Peter A.B. Widener by gift through power of appointment of Joseph E. Widener, Elkins Park, Pennsylvania; gift 1942 to NGA.

[1] This provenance information was provided by Timothy H. Wilson in August 2000, and was not included in his 1993 NGA systematic catalogue entry. It provides the explanation for a square, printed label on the dish with the number 337 on it, which was described in the entry as "from an unidentified collection or sale."
