Purchased from the artist by Paul Rosenberg;[1] sold to Miss Mary Hoyt Wiborg, New York, by 1927;[2] sold 12 February 1938 through (Valentine Gallery, New York, and possibly Paul P. Rosenberg et Cie., Paris) to Chester Dale [1883-1962], New York;[3] bequest 1963 to NGA. [1] It is unclear whether Rosenberg purchased painting as a dealer or for his private collection. When purchased directly from the artist, it is assumed here that the painting became part of his private collection. When involved in a later transaction, as here from Wiborg to Dale, it is assumed that Rosenberg was acting as a dealer. [2] Miss Wiborg lent painting to the Reinhardt Gallery's 1927 exhibition _Loan Exhibition of Paintings from El Greco and Rembrandt to Cezanne and Matisse_. [3] Valentine Gallery's receipt to Mr. and Mrs. Dale includes the comment "on order from abroad" and also indicates that a commission was paid, but does not name Rosenberg. Rosenberg is named in other, slightly conflicting, information from the Dale Papers that lists the provenance one time as "...later Miss Wiborg sold it to the Chester Dale Collection through Paul Rosenberg" and another as "Mr. Dale bought the picture from the collection of Miss Mary Hoyt Wiborg through Valentine Dudensing [owner of Valentine Gallery]". It seems possible that Miss Wiborg, having originally purchased the painting from Rosenberg, returned it there from whence it was sold to Dale through Valentine.
