Footnote
(1) The 1880 sale catalogue identifies the buyer only as "Haro." Because Henri Haro was then only twenty-five, it is possible that the buyer was actually his father, Etienne-François Haro (1827–1897), and that Henri inherited the painting from him. The senior Haro was a student of both Ingres and Delacroix and had a significant collection, which included works from Ingres’s studio. Two sales of Etienne-François’s collection took place in 1892 and 1897. Henri followed his father as a painter, expert, dealer, and restorer of paintings in Paris.
