Given by the artist to Luigi Calamatta; his sale, [Hôtel Drouot, Paris, December 18-19, 1871 (Lugt 1921, no. 1717)];* Hilaire-Germain-Edgar Degas, Paris; his sale, [Galerie Georges Petit, Paris, March 26-27, 1918, no. 214, illus.

Winthrop, April 1936 (Fr 15,000); his bequest to the Fogg Art Museum, 1943. *Naef** (vol. 4 [1977], pg. 52) identifies three possibilities for this lot: no. 129, sold for 55 francs; no. 134, shold for 160 francs (together with another sheet); and no. 135, sold for 200 francs. The Fogg literature has traditionally accepted the last. **"Die Bildniszeichnungen von J.-A.-D. Ingres," 5 vols, Bern, 1977-80.
