Mellon Educational and Charitable Trust, Pittsburgh;[3] gift 1937 to NGA. [1] The Getty Provenance Index lists a buyer named Cooper who purchased the work at the 1898 Christie's sale, according to the J. Paul Getty Museum's copy of the auction catalogue. [2] According to the Getty Provenance Index, the Villeroy sale was held at Armand, Paris, rather than at Galérie Georges Petit. The Getty Museum's copy of the auction catalogue lists the buyer as Paul Jonas. However, Duveen Brothers was in possession of the work within the year of the Villeroy sale (perhaps Jonas was an agent for Duveen). [3] The original Duveen Brothers invoice is in Gallery Archives, copy in NGA curatorial files.
