Provenance

Marshall Langhorne.[1] (Victor D. Spark, New York); purchased February 1960 by the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington; acquired 2015 by the National Gallery of Art.

[1] This name is on the Victor D. Spark bill of sale to the Corcoran for the painting, in NGA curatorial files. The owner was probably Maurice Marshall Langhorne (1870-1942), a Virginia-born diplomat who eventually resided in Washington for ten years prior to his death, and who collected paintings, rugs, and Chinese ceramics.
