Art market, New York, 1960s;[1] purchased by Emile E. Wolf [1899-1996], New York; gift (partial and promised) 1996 to NGA; gift completed 2000. [1] In a letter to Arthur Wheelock (15 January 1987, in NGA curatorial files), Emile E. Wolf writes that “Park Bernet sold it as anonynme [_sic_],” which might indicate he purchased the painting at an auction. Many Parke-Bernet sale catalogues for the 1960s have been checked, but as yet an auction that included the painting has not been identified.
