Provenance
Possibly Hugh D. Scott, Boston, Massachusetts; his daughter, Helen Livingston Scott Greenway [1903-1980], Wellesley and Needham, Massachusetts;[1] her son, James C. Greenway III, Fairfield, Connecticut, and Easton, Maryland, 1962-1993; sold 1 November 1993 through (Martin Chasin Fine Arts, Fairfield, Connecticut) to NGA.
[1] A temporary loan label on the stretcher from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, states that the picture was lent to the museum by Mrs. Augustin H. Parker, Charles River, Massachusetts, from January to April 1934 (information provided by Eric Hirschler, Assistant Curator of American Paintings, MFA, in a telephone conversation with Franklin Kelly, 22 June 1993). According to James C. Greenway III, no one by that name ever owned the painting; his mother, Helen Livingston Scott Greenway, did, however, reside on Charles River Street in Boston at one point during the time she owned the picture (information provided by Martin Chasin, in a telephone conversation with Franklin Kelly, 31 October 1995).
