Artwork history & notes
Provenance
The artist; bequest 1968 to the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington;[1] acquired 2015 by the National Gallery of Art.
[1] This sculpture, along with others by the artist, had been on long-term loan to the Corcoran at the time of the artist's death in 1942. In 1968, after failed efforts to reach the sculptor's executor, by special authority granted the Corcoran director on advice of counsel, the works were accessioned into the Corcoran's collection, giving credit to the lenders as donors of the objects.
