Provenance

Dr. Paul Viktorovitch Delaroff (1852-1913), Saint Petersburg and Pavlovsk, sold [through his sale, Paris, April 27-30, 1914, lot 207]; to Louis Deglatigny (1854-1936), Rouen, sold [through his sale, Galerie Charpentier, Paris, May 28, 1937, lot 133]; to Schmoll. [1] Sold [through Loudmer Spc., Hôtel Drouot, Paris, December 18, 1995, lot 67]; to [M. L. Wurfbain Fine Art B.V., Oegstgeest], sold; to [Otto Naumann Ltd., New York], sold; to Anne and Peter Brooke, Boston, March 1999, gift; to Harvard Art Museums, 2017 [1] From annotated May 28,1937 catalogue at the RKD. We have determined to the best of our ability that the painting did not belong to Louis Schmoll (1872-1943). Descendants suggest that the painting was possibly purchased by Robert Schmoll, later Robert Nivelle.
