Artwork history & notes

Provenance

The Ta-kee Collection;[1] sold to Thomas B. Clarke [1848-1931], New York; sold 1913 to 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] Unfortunately, Clarke provided no descriptive information about Ta-kee as he had about Yan Li San (see the provenance for NGA 1942.9.485 and 1942.9.486), so it is difficult to speculate about his identity; the source for this information is the Widener collection records kept by Edith Standen (now in the NGA curatorial files).
