(Galerie Kahnweiler, Paris).[1] Carl Hagemann [1867-1940], Frankfurt am Main, by 1915. Museum Folkwang, Essen, by 1934, until 1937; (Buchholz Gallery, Berlin).[2] (Valentine Gallery, New York); by exchange 1943 to Marie N. Harriman [1903-1970] and W. Averell Harriman [1891-1986], New York;[3] W. Averell Harriman Foundation; gift 1972 to NGA.
[1] According to Michel Kellerman, André Derain: Catalogue raisonné de l'oeuvre peint, 3 vols., Paris, 1992: I:no. 329, and confirmed by a Galerie Kahnweiler label, annotated "No. 1477," in the center of the painting's middle stretcher bar. The painting does not appear to have been included in any of the four sales of the Galerie Kahnweiler conducted by the French government (13 June 1921; 17 November 1921; 4 July 1922; 7 May 1923).
[2] Confiscated on 25 August 1937 by the German government as "degenerate art," and sold through the Buchholz Gallery in Berlin, one of the agents appointed by the German government's Commission for the Exploitation of Degenerate Art to sell objects purged from German museums.
