NOTES:
[1] George Petit was probably an agent for Cazin so it is likely that the gallery acquired this directly from the artist (information supplied by Getty Provenance Index). [2] Information on the Knoedler transactions is taken from a letter from Lelia Wittler, Knoedler, New York, to the MFA (February 3, 1940). Online, see the Getty Provenance Index, M. Knoedler and Co. records, PI record number K-14822 (Stock book 4, no. 7634, p. 191). http://www.getty.edu/research/tools/provenance/
