Provenance

Recorded as from New York State. A Dutch family in the vicinity of Kingston, New York. (Thurston Thacher, Hyde Park, New York), by whom sold in 1952 to Edgar William and Bernice Chrysler Garbisch;[1] gift to NGA, 1966.

[1] This is taken from the Garbisch records. Ruth Piwonka (see below), however, in a letter of 23 April 1977, in NGA curatorial files, indicates that the painting is likely to have the same Sanders/Wilson provenance as Christ and the Woman of Samaria (1953.5.91) and Young Man on a Terrace (1953.5.92), both by unknown painters, as well as Lady Undressing for a Bath (1956.13.11), attributed to Gerardus Duyckinck.
