Artwork history & notes

Provenance

Lady Rothschild, Paris.[1] Alfred H. Mulliken [died 1931], Chicago and New Canaan; (his sale, American Art Association, New York, 5 January 1933, no. 20); purchased by James Raines. William R. Timken [1866-1949], New York; by inheritance to his widow, Lillian Guyer Timken [1881-1959], New York; bequest 1960 to NGA.
[1] This information is from the 1933 Mulliken estate sale. The NGA picture appears to be a copy after a Greuze painting in the London Rothschild collection (see Camille Mauclair, Jean-Baptiste Greuze, Paris, 1905: 51, no. 778).
