Cunningham of the MFA (March 6, 1941; in MFA curatorial file). Also see Getty Provenance Index, M. Knoedler and Co.

On the reverse of the painting, in pencil, is a number identified by former curator Charles C. Cunningham as possibly the mark of Samuel Putnam Avery (b. 1822 - d. 1904), a New York art dealer. It is not known for certain whether his gallery is associated with this stock number, or whether it played a role in the importation and sale of this painting. Another mark on the reverse is tentatively identified as coming from Vose Galleries, Boston, but this has not been verified.
