Provenance

(Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler [1884-1979], Paris).[1] Jean Laroche [1866-1935], Villa Sauge Pourprée, Deauville, by 1924; (his sale, Paris, 8 December 1928, no. 43); purchased by (Etienne Bignou, Paris) for Chester Dale [1883-1962], New York;[2] bequest 1963 to NGA.

[1] The contents of the Kahnweiler Gallery were sequestered by the French government and sold at four sales in Paris: 13 June 1921, 17 November 1921, 4 July 1922 and 7 May 1923. No object that seems to match this painting appears in any of the sales catalogues, suggesting that this painting was sold prior to the sales.

[2] Letter from Bignou to Kraushaar dated 11 December 1928 lists the three paintings he bought for Chester Dale at the Laroche sale, Kraushaar Gallery Records, Archives of American Art, Box 12, Folder 34 (Incoming Correspondence).
