Baron Etienne Martin de Beurnonville [1789-1876], château de la Chapelle, Labbeville, Val d'Oise; (his estate sale, by Pillet, Paris, 9-14 and 16 May 1881[12 May], no. 453); (Charles Sedelmeyer, Paris). Prince Johann II of Liechtenstein [1840-1929], Vienna and later Vaduz, by 1896;[1] (Frederick Mont, New York); purchased 18 October 1951 by the Samuel H. Kress Foundation, New York;[2] gift 1961 to NGA. [1] The first reference to the existence of the painting in the Liechtenstein Collection is in 1896 (see Wilhelm von Bode, _Die Fürstlich Liechtenstein'sche Galerie in Wien_, Vienna, 1896, 99). Gustav Friedrich Waagen's earlier account of a Ruisdael _Landscape with a Bridge_ in the Liechtenstein Collection (Gustav Friedrich Waagen, _Die vornehmsten Kunstdenkmäler in Wien_, Vienna, 1866: 287), must refer to a different work because the Washington painting was sold by the Baron de Beurnonville only in 1881. The provenance given in Strohmer's 1943 catalogue of the Liechtenstein Collection (Erich V. Strohmer, _Die Gemäldegalerie des Fürstern Liechtenstein in Wien_, Vienna, 1943) is incorrect; in the 1948 Lucerne exhibition catalogue (_Meisterwerke aus den Sammlungen des Fürsten von Liechtenstein_, Kunstmuseum), this painting's provenance was associated with the wrong painting. [2] The bill from Frederick Mont to the Kress Foundation for three paintings from the Liechtenstein collection, including this one, is dated 18 October 1951; payment was made four days later (copy of annotated bill in NGA curatorial files, see also The Kress Collection Digital Archive, https://kress.nga.gov/Detail/objects/1217).
