May, Reno, NV, USA, purchased from Arthur Tooth & Sons [6];1957 -;Saint Louis Art Museum, given by Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur D. May [7];Notes;[1] This work was included in a 1910 exhibition at Vollard's gallery ["Exposition de Peintures Faïences Décoratives de Vlaminck." Paris: A. Vollard, March 15-26, 1910, cat. 4].;[2] An undated label on the reverse of the painting refers to the Galerie Bing, which was active in Paris from 1925 until 1932.;[3] This painting was listed as from the collection of Monsieur A. Vollard in a 1934 publication [Cogniat, Raymond. "Les Étapes de l'art contemporain: Les Fauves: l'Atelier Gustave Moreau," Gazette des Beaux-Arts, 1934, cat. 160].;[4] Noël Coward was a famous British actor, playwright, and composer. He moved to Jamaica after World War II. It is possible that Coward purchased the painting in 1946, as there was a reference in Coward's diary on March 12, 1946 regarding his purchase of a work of art by Vlaminck. A diary entry from December 1955 states his intent to put his principal pictures up for sale [information provided by Lisa Foster, Noël Coward Archive, London, email dated July 30, 2004, SLAM document files]. In the spring of the following year the painting was sold in a sale of his collection (see note [5]).;[5] According to Isabel von Klitzing, of Sotheby's, London, Arthur Tooth & Sons purchased the painting at auction on April 18, 1956 [email dated May 17, 2002, SLAM document files, "Catalogue of Modern and French 19th Century Drawings, Paintings and Sculpture, Including an Important Painting of Le Havre by Vlaminck." Sotheby & Co., London, April 18, 1956, lot no. 140]. Arthur Tooth & Sons sold the painting later that month (see note [6]).;[6] Wilbur May purchased this work from Arthur Tooth & Sons in April 1956 [email dated November 19, 2003 from Simon Matthews, Arthur Tooth & Sons Archives, London, SLAM document files].;[7] Deed of gift from W. D. May dated December 8, 1957 [SLAM document files]. Minutes of the Administrative Board of Control and the Advisory Members of the Board of Control of the City Art Museum, December 12, 1957.
