Recorded as from Maine. (John K. Byard, Norwalk, Connecticut)[1], by whom sold in 1949 to Edgar William and Bernice Chrysler Garbisch; gift to NGA, 1953. [1] A typewritten note from Byard of 17 May 1949 (in NGA curatorial file) states that the unnamed man from whom he purchased the painting had bought it from Andrew Hawes, who was somehow associated with the Quinby family in Stroudwater (near Portland) Maine. According to Byard, the unnamed man claimed that the painting had served as a fireboard in the Quinby house, which was located in either Portland or Stroudwater. Fireboards, usually constructed of wood, stood in front of fireplaces in the summer months.
