Provenance

Claude Émile Schuffenecker [1851-1934], Paris. [1] (Galerie Joseph Allard, Paris); sold 4 June 1926 to Chester Dale [1883-1962], New York; bequest 1963 to NGA.[2]

[1]Claude Emile Schuffenecker was a friend and early collector of Gauguin. Due to his divorce that was finalized in 1904, he sold his collection of over 100 works by Gauguin, van Gogh and others to his brother Amédée in the hopes that the collection would remain in tact. Amédée, however, was just starting out as a dealer and sold many of the works. (See Sophie Monneret, Impressionnisme et son époque, Paris, 1978, volume 2, p. 333 and Claude-Emile Schuffenecker, Exh. cat., University Art Gallery, State University of New York at Binghamton and Hammer Galleries, 1980, p. 29). This picture is likely among those that passed between the brothers. In 1908 it is exhibited at the Kunstsalon W. Zimmermann in Munich, probably for sale. Amédée often sold through the German art market.

[2]Date and source of Chester Dale's acquisition according to his papers in NGA curatorial records.
