DescriptionAfter a painting in the Royal Collection, Windsor
ProvenanceBlakeslee Galleries, New York; probably sold by Blakeslee to George Robert White (b. 1847 - d. 1922), Boston [see note 1]; by inheritance from White to his sister, Harriet J. White (Mrs. Frederick T.) Bradbury (b. 1851 - d. 1930), Boston; 1930, bequest of Harriet J. Bradbury to the MFA. (Accession Date: July 3, 1930)
NOTES:
[1] George R. White did business with Blakeslee. In 1922, he bequeathed to his sister, Harriet J. Bradbury, his collection of pictures and other works of art. No itemized list of these works of art is known, but the collection was almost certainly formed by 1919, the date of his original will. When Mrs. Bradbury died in 1930 she left her art collection, including those items inherited from her brother, to the MFA.
