However, immediately after the sale, the Morisot family exchanged that painting with Young Woman with a Straw Hat (Durand-Ruel stock no. 5176, photo no. 1287). See email of 4 June 2024 in NGA curatorial file. The painting was exhibited by Durand-Ruel at the Grafton Galleries in London in 1905.

See email of 29 January 2015 from Bill Scott about the purchase of this painting in NGA curatorial file. The receipt dated 28 February 1912 from Durand-Ruel to William Glackens, in the Albert C.
