NOTES:
[1] Early provenance is taken from Robert Schmidt, Eugene Boudin, 1825-1898 (Paris, 1973), cat. no. 3618 (incorrectly dated August 13, 1897) and supplement (Paris, 1984), cat. no. 3853. The dimensions are incorrectly given in the Louis Bernard sale as 55 x 40 cm.
[2] The first name of the 1908 buyer of the painting is unknown, but it was almost certainly a family member of Sarah Milliken Parker. Her brother, Arthur Norris Milliken, was a subscriber to the MFA in the 1910s and 1920s.
