I. de La Rochenoire, by 1875.[1] Alexandre Dumas [1824-1895]; (his sale, Hôtel Drouot, Paris, 16 February 1882, no. 13, as La Lecture, figure). (Dumas sale, Hôtel Drouot, Paris, 12-13 May 1892, no. 22).[2] (Dumas sale, Galerie Georges Petit, Paris, 2-3 March 1896, no. 12). Gaillard collection, by 1905.[3] Ferdinand Blumenthal [d. 1914], Paris.[4] Count Cecil Pecci-Blunt [d. 1965], Paris, by 1936 until at least 1946.[5] (Wildenstein & Co., New York); sold 27 January 1960 to Paul Mellon, Upperville, Virginia; gift 1985 to NGA. [1] Lent by I. de la Rochenoire to Exposition de l'oeuvre de Corot, Ecole Nationale des Beaux-Arts, Paris, 1875, no. 135. [2] According to an annotated copy of sale catalogue in the M. Knoedler library, the painting was purchased by Durand-Ruel et Cie, Paris. If, however, this is true, it is unclear how the painting came to be included in the Dumas estate sale in 1896. [3] Alfred Robaut, L'oeuvre de Corot, Paris, 1905: III:116, no. 1570, listed the Gaillard collection in the provenance. [4] According to Wildenstein and Co. précis, dated 27 January 1960, in NGA curatorial files. [5] Lent by Pecci-Blunt to Exposition Corot, Musée de l'Orangerie, Paris, 1936, no. 92, and Exhibition of Paintings by Corot, Philadelphia Museum of Art, 1946, no. 60. |
