Artwork history & notes

Provenance

Garland collection.[1] J. Pierpont Morgan [1837-1913], New York. (Duveen Brothers, New York and London); sold 1915 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] The note to the provenance published in the NGA systematic catalogue entry for both 1942.9.611 and 1942.9.612 (Little et al. 1998, 162) indicates that only 1942.9.611 is documented by Edith Standen in the Widener records (in NGA curatorial files) as having come from the Garland collection. Actually, the Widener records for both vases are annotated by Miss Standen as "From the Garland Collection;" probably James A. Garland [d. 1901/1902].
