Private collection, France, sold by 1972 to;(1) [Frederick Mont, New York, sold 1974 through];(2) [Newhouse Galleries, New York, to]; Mr. and Mrs. Edward William Carter, Los Angeles, given 2009 to; LACMA.

Footnotes

(1) When acquired, the painting had a brass nameplate that included the number 21. The collection has not been identified.

(2) In a letter to Wolfgang Stechow, 16 January 1973 (Pynacker object file, Department of European Painting and Sculpture, LACMA), Betty Mont informed him that Mr. Carter had bought the painting by Pynacker without hesitating a minute, and that the old Mr. Newhouse had sold him the painting. She concluded saying she was pleased that Carter, who is a serious collector, purchased it, but is sorry that Sherman Lee (director of the Cleveland Museum of Art for whom presumably Stechow was inquiring) was too late. The painting had been reserved for Mr. Carter for a long time. The receipt for the final payment of the painting is dated 17 January 1974. Mont often worked in partnership with Newhouse.
