Provenance

Private collection, France; (sale, Hôtel Drouot, Paris, 16 November 1917, no. 19, as Attributed to Corot, bought in). Henri Vever [1854-1943], Paris.[1] Private collection, Boston. (Wildenstein & Co., New York); sold 1986 to Dr. Gert-Rudolf Flick [b. 1943], London. Private collection, Japan, by 1996;[2] (Wildenstein & Co., New York); purchased 2 February 2001 by NGA.

[1] This painting was not included in the Vever sale of 1-2 February 1897, which included 14 other paintings by Corot. It is unclear if Vever bought it at the 1917 auction, as his Acquisitions Book, inthe Henri Vever papers at the Freer-Sackler Gallery Archives, ends in July 1917.

[2] According to the exhibition catalogues, the painting was lent in 1989 to The Lefevre Gallery in London by a private collection in the United Kingdom, in 1991 to a touring exhibition in Manchester and Norwich by a private collection in Switzerland, and in 1996 to a touring exhibition in Washington, Brooklyn, and St. Louis by a private collection in Japan.
