DATASET: Art Provenances AFTER Restitution of Looted Art

Claims for Nazi-looted art or duress sales sometimes result in restitution or settlement agreements which cause the restituted artwork to be sold at auction.


Below are artworks whose provenance, as published by Christie's auction house, mentions a restitution or settlement agreement with the heir of a victim of Nazi persecution.


These provenance texts provide valuable information to art historians and Holocaust researchers, offering insights into the art market networks that dealt in Holocaust-linked artworks between the time they left the possession of the persecuted Jewish collectors and the time they were restituted.

Picasso in Museums around the world

PROGRESS REPORT
Twenty-five years have passed since the Washington Conference on Holocaust era assets.
Yet there is still no central database of museum artworks with their provenances. Some museums - big museums, university art museums - still publish no provenance at all.
Projects are announced, appear, disappear, each separate. There is no central tracking of Nazi era provenance gaps.  The scale is enormous. The number of artworks with unclear ownership history for the Nazi era remains extremely high.

Given the enormity of the task, this post looks at the situation in museums for a single artist: Picasso.
(update ongoing)

The Art Loss Register Ltd Speech given at a Symposium in Amsterdam on 30th January 2008 hosted by Sotheby’s Auctioneers

 Our research began in August 2002 when we were asked to record a picture by Picasso ‘Still Life with Painting’ on the ALR database by two claimants living in England and the USA.   

As proof of ownership, they showed us a page from an exhibition catalogue for an exhibition of Dutch paintings held at the Stedelijk Museum from February to April 1939.  

Although the lender was noted as ‘Private Collection, Amsterdam’, the archives of the Stedelijk Museum held documents that could prove that the lender of the Picasso was their great-aunt,  Dr Meyer-Udewald, then living at an address in Vijzelstraat, Amsterdam.   

Within a week, we traced the Picasso to a private collection in the USA where it had been since 1952 but we had little idea then that we were facing four years of meticulous research in eleven countries to piece together how the Picasso had come to rest where it did.    

In the course of that research, not only did we reconstruct the provenance of this early Picasso but we discovered that, thanks to a Will written in 1925 by a Mr Schlesinger of Hamburg, that the claimants who had approached the ALR were not, after all, entitled to claim the Picasso as a war loss as their great aunt had only been granted a life interest in it.  

On her death, whenever that took place, the Picasso was to revert to Mr Schlesinger’s wife and children.    We discovered Käthe Schlesinger and the three children emigrated from Nazi Germany in 1938, settling in the USA and we located the heirs and advised them about the Picasso.   

Dr Meyer-Udewald, who was also Jewish, had emigrated from Hamburg to Tilburg in the Netherlands in 1936 loaning the Picasso to the Stedelijk Museum three years later.  In 1940, Dr Meyer Udewald moved to Belgium.  Once in Belgium, Dr Meyer-Udewald moved between safe houses in Brussels and Antwerp until she was betrayed and sent to the transit camp for Jewish prisoners at Malines.  

On 20 September 1943, she was deported from Malines to Auschwitz where she died.  Her premature death activated the terms of the 1925 Will of Ernst Schlesinger.  In wartime Brussels, the Picasso passed through the hands of Joseph Albert Dederen, a resident of Brussels and Dr Robyn, who loaned the picture to an exhibition in Knokke, its first public reappearance after the war.  The painting then surfaced at the Bollag Gallery in Zurich from whom it was purchased by the Galerie Benador, Geneva.  In October 1952, the Picasso was acquired in good faith by Duncan Phillips, founder of the Phillips Collection in Washington DC.   Following the ALR’s reconstruction of the provenance, we negotiated a settlement on behalf of the heirs of Ernst Schlesinger with the legal representative of Duncan V. Phillips.

Pinakothek Munich: artworks with no provenance transferred from the German state


Where to find the provenance of artworks held at the Pinakothek in Bavaria, Germany?

Not, it seems, on the Pinakothek website.

Frequently, the information provided in the Origin or Herkunft field limits itself to the mention: "on loan" or "transferred from the German state".

But there is no link or reference to any further information. 

Yet we know that many looted artworks returned to Germany after the war and then distributed to museums "on loan" or as "transfers").

How to verify whether or not an artwork held at the Pinakothek is referenced in the LostArt.de database, the DHM Munich or Linz databases?

To find out, we will look at a selection of artworks at the Pinakothek, many of which are "on loan" or transferred from State possession.

Bruno Lohse Nazi Art Looter Transcription of ALIU Detailed Interrogation Report NARA RG239 DIR 6


The text below is a transcription of a document in the National Archives concerning Nazi art looting that was declassified in 1975. It concerns the notorious Nazi art looter, Bruno Lohse. This Detailed Interrogation Report was written by Monuments Man and OSS Art Looting Investigation Unit member James S. Plaut in 1945. It detailed the interrogation of Nazi art looter Bruno Lohse conducted from June 15, 1945 to August 15, 1945.

Data Visualization Test

How to grasp the scale of the transfer from Jewish art collectors persecuted by the Nazi to museums in the United States, Germany, Austria, France, Switzerland, the Netherlands, as well as countries in South America?

Some experiments in data visualization.

First, an overview (attention: the figures are not real, they are only to test the visualization.)


The Nazis looted so much. Destroyed so many lives. How to represent this in a way that is understandable, meaningful - and actionable?

The devil is in the detail.

Linz ALMAS



Maria Almas-Dietrich: Nazi art looter

"Art dealer; personal friend of Hitler, and for a time his principal buyer of works of art. One of the most important purchasing agents for Linz. Was under house arrest at Grafing, Bavaria, autumn 1945."
ALIU 1946 Final Report


Art historians, "Almas" in a provenance text means: dig deep.

The probability of Nazi looting is high.

Below, artworks from the DHM Linz database that contain "Almas" in the provenance.

Names of persecuted Austrian Jewish collectors



How to verify the provenance texts of artworks for names that might indicate a history of Nazi looting or persecution?

There are many potential sources and lists.

Holocaust-related claims for art: tactics observed

Reactions to claims for Nazi-looted art, forced sales and duress sales vary.

Some museums or private collectors, when they learn that a prized artwork belonged to an art collector who was plundered by the Nazis, immediately set out to research the history and return the artwork to the family.

Others fight with every weapon in their arsenal, not hesitating to make up perfectly false stories to explain how the artwork landed in their collection or even to sue the claimants.

Question: can one identify the different responses and classify each response accordingly?

This post is a first attempt to list a few of the tactics observed in the past:

TACTICS OBSERVED IN NAZI ERA ART RESTITUTION CASES

  1. Deny that the artwork in the defendant's collection is the same as the artwork claimed
  2. Deny the claimant's ancestor owned the artwork
  3. Deny the context of the Holocaust by portraying events as a normal commercial transaction
  4. Deny or discount physical evidence of ripped labels, resized or otherwise distorted canvases  
  5. Conceal evidence that the defendant possesses
  6. Misrepresent and misinterpret evidence 
  7. Use false evidence previously inserted by bad actors, including Nazis and known looted art dealers among others
  8. Invent stories based on speculation creating alternative "facts"
  9. Use influence to plant and spread false information, including creating publications to spread false story
  10. On the legal front, mobilise any and all tactics to stop case while publicly proclaiming adherence to Washington Principles.
  11. In case of settlement, misrepresent the history of the case, and prevent claimants from revealing an accurate account with non-disclosure clauses 
This list is just a start. It will be an interesting exercise to attach the tactic to the case, based on the published public record.

Scholars have not been able to definitively identify;which one, but Portier, Latouche and Père Tanguy have all been proposed.;Tanguy’s shop is cited by Susan Alyson Stein in Elder’s memoirs. See Frances;Weitzenhoffer, The Havemeyers;Impressionism Comes to America (New York: Harry;N. Abrams, 1986), 21, and Louisine W. Havemeyer, Sixteen to Sixty: Memoirs of a Collector, ed. Susan Alyson Stein;2nd ed. (New York: Ursus Press, 1993), 331n291.;The date of Elder’s purchase of the work is not certain, but;it was one of Elder’s first purchases, bought on the advice of her friend;artist Mary Cassatt (American, 1844-1926). Most scholars agree that Elder;bought the pastel by 1877, see Havemeyer, Sixteen;to Sixty, 331n291. Elder definitely owned the pastel before February 1878;when she lent it to the Eleventh Annual;Exhibition of the American Water Color Society.;[2] Louisine Havemeyer may have given the pastel to her;daughter when she married on February 7, 1907. Havemeyer writes, “As each of;you acquired a home of your own I gave to you works of art to beautify it;believing it would be the wish of Father to have me do so. These objects are;yours and the disposition you finally make of them, your responsibility.”;Havemeyer also noted, “Degas: I have given Adaline…the one I bought when a;girl.” This was probably in reference to the Nelson-Atkins’ pastel, which;Havemeyer fondly recalled her in memoires as her first Degas purchase when she;was still a teenager. See Louisine Waldron Elder Havemeyer, “Notes to My;Children” regarding disposition of Havemeyer art collection, Series II. Miscellaneous, box 3;folder 23, pp. 1, 7, The Havemeyer Family Papers relating to Art Collecting;The Metropolitan Museum of Art Archives, New York. In any case, the pastel was;not in Havemeyer’s will listing artworks to be donated to the Metropolitan;Museum of Art, New York, and it was also not among the artworks donated by;Havemeyer’s three children in 1929. It was published in the 1931 H. O. Havemeyer Collection catalogue as;being in Frelinghuysen’s collection.;[3] Paper label on the pastel’s verso inscribed: “To George;on his / 21 st birthday / from Mother”.Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art

The fact that the MFA painting was sold shortly after Jean Ferdinand-Dreyfus’s death by his heir indicates that, if it is the same painting, it must have been returned to the family between 1947 and 1962.;[4] Many thanks to Sophie Brame for supplying information about the Galerie Hector Brame transactions.;[5] According to Gaunt, 1963 (as above, n. 1). There is also a Frost and Reed label affixed to the reverse of the painting dated 1965, at which time it was evidently at the gallery for restoration or framing work.;[6] According to correspondence from Jodie Waldron of the Lefevre Gallery (August 24, 2006).

(Accession Date: May 5, 1937);NOTES;[1] The early provenance and information about Durand-Ruel's transactions is taken from Colin B. Bailey, Renoir, Impressionism, and Full-Length Painting (exh. cat. Frick Collection, New York, 2012), p. 212.;[2] Maurice Barret-Décap owned the painting until at least February 9, 1937, as his correspondence with Seligmann attests. The provenance provided by Seligmann at the time of the painting's acquisition lists the name of Anthony Manley after that of Barret-Décap. The gallery's shipping papers from March 19, 1937, note that it was purchased from Manley on February 13 (year illegible, presumably 1937), Manley also wrote to Seligmann on April 3, 1937, regarding the payment of interest on the painting. It is possible that Barret-Décap sold the work to Seligmann through Manley, that the two men owned it jointly, or that Manley owned the work for a very short period of time, around February 9-13, 1937.;[3] De Hauke was a sales representative for Jacques Seligmann and Co. While he purchased works of art that were sold by the gallery, the ownership of the objects was often officially shared by several art dealers, and the transactions became quite complicated. De Hauke and Brame worked together on several occasions.Museum of Fine Arts Boston

This painting, however, does not appear in subsequent sales of paintings from the Comte Duchâtel collection.;[5] The painting was included in the exhibition held at Robert Lebel's gallery at 13, rue de Seine, Paris, "Une Collection de Tableaux de Petits Maitres Hollandais & Flamands," December 11-28, 1934, cat. no. 25. An old photograph of the painting exists in Lebel's photographic archive, it is annotated on the back: "Eglon van der Neer.;[6] Robert Lebel visited the MFA on October 8, 1943 and told curator W. G. Constable that he had sold this painting to Walter Westfeld around 1937. According to a letter from Walter Westfeld's brother to the MFA (February 6, 1944), Lebel had written to him in the fall of 1943 as well, stating that around 1935/1936 he had sold the painting to Westfeld, who had it at the Galerie Kleucker and "at a time, in Amsterdam." A painting described as a Company Scene by Eglon van der Neer, which is probably the present painting, was exhibited at the Galerie August Kleucker, Düsseldorf, in mid-May, 1936.;[7] A photograph of the painting, supplied to the MFA by Silberman, bears W. R. Valentiner's authentication on the reverse, dated May 15, 1941. The painting was first offered to the MFA on June 3, 1941. A subsequent letter from dealer Abris Silberman to W. G. Constable of the MFA (June 3, 1942) states that "the painting was brought to this country by a refugee some time ago" but had never been in a U.S. collection. Attempts to determine when and how Silberman acquired the work have not been successful.;ADDITIONAL INFORMATION;In 1920 Walter Westfeld opened a gallery that bore his name in Elberfeld (present-day Wuppertal). However, under the Nazi regime he was forced to discontinue his business because he was Jewish, the Galerie Walter Westfeld officially closed on May 27, 1936. Several months later, his associate August Kleucker was put in charge of liquidating the gallery stock through the Galerie Kleucker in Düsseldorf. It is not known whether this painting had formed part of Westfeld's gallery stock or whether he owned it privately, thus it is not known if it was part of the 1936 liquidation through Kleucker. In the fall of 1937, Westfeld was forced to turn over to the Gestapo a list of all the works of art still in his possession, the Van der Neer does not appear on this list. Whether it was no longer in Westfeld's possession at this time, or had been deliberately left off the list, is uncertain.;In November 1938 Westfeld was arrested for foreign exchange violations. He was subsequently found guilty of having -- after the closure of his gallery -- illegally shipped works of art and other assets abroad, to Paris and Amsterdam, and of continuing to sell his own works of art through Kleucker. Whether the Van der Neer left his possession in one of these ways is not known. According to correspondence from a family member to the MFA (November 11, 2004), Westfeld had paintings and other valuables at the Rotterdamse Wisselbank in Amsterdam as late as 1939, again, it is not known if the Van der Neer could have been among these. The valuables were apparently taken unlawfully and sold during World War II, and remain untraced.;In 1939 Nazi authorities seized Westfeld's remaining art assets in Germany and auctioned them through Lempertz, Cologne, on December 12-13, 1939. The Van der Neer painting was not included in this sale.;After Westfeld's trial in Nazi Germany, he served a prison sentence at Lüttringhausen. In 1942 he was sent to the Theresienstadt concentration camp and, in 1943, to Auschwitz. He was declared deceased at the end of World War II.;In June, 2011 the MFA reached a financial settlement with the heirs and the estate of Walter Westfeld for the Portrait of a Man and Woman in an Interior, allowing the work to remain at the museum. This was based on a review of the above research, which outlines a limited number of ways the painting could have left his possession. It seems unlikely that Westfeld gave or sold the painting voluntarily after the closure of his gallery in May, 1936. Rather, as a Jewish art dealer living in Nazi Germany, he probably disposed of it due to persecution.;Bibliography: Herbert Schmidt, Der Elendsweg der Düsseldorfer Juden: Chronologie des Schreckens, 1933-1945 (Düsseldorf: Droste, 2005), pp. 273-278, Victoria S.

(Accession Date: March 8, 1956);NOTES;[1] Traditionally referred to as Monet's sale, the auction was organized by Ernest Hoschedé (b. 1837 - d. 1891) and included several works belonging to him, leading Hélène Adhemar ("Ernest Hoschedé," in Aspects of Monet: A Symposium on the Artist's Life and Times, ed. John Rewald and Frances Weitzenhoffer [New York: Abrams, 1984], p. 61) to suggest it was a joint sale and Hoschedé "was without a doubt in possession of the Monet paintings" ("il était sans doute en possession des tableaux de Monet"). When the painting was acquired, Edward Fowles of Duveen Brothers stated that "it was originally in the collection of a Mr. Hoschede" (letter to W. G. Constable, MFA, February 16, 1956).;[2] René Gimpel noted on August 10, 1918, that the dealer Georges Bernheim informed him that "Rosenberg has bought a life-size Monet, a Japanese woman." See his "Diary of an Art Dealer", trans. John Rosenberg (New York, 1966), p. 55, also pp. 59 (August 19) and 67 (October 29). Monet himself wrote to Rosenberg about the painting (August 6, 1918, copy of letter in curatorial file).;[3] In the brief notice "New Monet for New York," American Art News XVIII, no. 18 (February 21, 1920): p. 1, the painting is said to have "recently been purchased by a New York collector." Edward Fowles (as above, n. 1) stated that "Philip Lehman purchased it from Paul Rosenberg.;[4] According to a memo from the London office to the Paris office of Duveen Brothers (December 31, 1926, Duveen Brothers Records, Getty Research Institute, Box 267, folder 24).

The Wildenstein Pissarro catalogue raisonné includes Comiot as a previous owner of the painting, but does not provide dates or documentation for his ownership. A sale of works from Comiot’s collection at Hôtel Drouot on June 11, 1958 does not include the CMA painting. A Renoir pastel sold at Sotheby’s, New York, on May 10, 2001 also has Comiot followed by de Hauke in its provenance, so the two may have had an ongoing business relationship. 4 The Pissarro does not appear in Galerie Brame & Lorenceau’s stock books, so it is likely that Hector Brame, a close business associate of de Hauke, brokered the sale of the painting to CMA.;Provenance Citations;Hôtel Drouot.

The decorative cycle, entitled Jardins publics (Public Gardens) was dismantled when the Natanson family moved to the Avenue des Champs-Elysées, where it was reinstalled in 1908. Natanson’s collection was sold at auction in 1929, and the cycle was dispersed: five paintings are now in the Musée d’Orsay, the pendant to the CMA painting is at the Musées Royaux des Beaux-Arts de Belgique, one panel is in the collection of the Houston Museum of Fine Arts, and the current location of the ninth panel is unknown 2 The Cleveland painting was sold together with La promenade (no. 89), also from the Jardins public cycle, to Henri Blum. Modigliani's Portrait of a Woman (CMA 1951.358) also appeared in the Bénard sale (no. 67). 3 Blum, a collector of Impressonist works who was active in Paris throughout the 1930s and 1940s, lent the CMA painting to a 1938 Vuillard exhibition at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs. 4 This sale may have been brokered by Parisian dealer, Paul Brame. Galerie Hector Brame, at which Paul Brame worked, appears in the painting’s provenance in the Salamon/Cogeval Vuillard catalogue raisonné. However, according to the gallery, there is no reference to the painting in their stock books. Paul Brame and César de Hauke were close acquaintances and often made purchases in conjunction with one another. The Knoedler inventory card, which makes no mention of Brame, does not specify the date de Hauke sold the painting (stock no. A5278) to Knoedler, but CMA records indicate the transaction took place in May 1953.;Provenance Citations;Édouard Vuillard, Series IV Inventory Cards, M.

It seems unusual that the painting was with Weber in 1892, and was subsequently sold in the estate sale of Ribot’s widow in 1896. But because the Cleveland painting appears neither in an 1887 auction of paintings from his collection, nor in a 1907 catalogue of his nineteenth-century paintings, it is possible that Weber sold the work privately and it was eventually added to the estate sale in 1896. 3 The Ribot was likely exhibited at Bernheim-Jeune in the 1911 Exposition T. Ribot (no. 13, La petite laitière), as art historian Gabriel Weisberg does not believe that the artist painted any other versions of the subject. 4 It appears that this painting was once again with Bernheim-Jeune: the presence of a Bernheim-Jeune stock number (6292) on the stretcher corresponds to the gallery's purchase of Ribot's "Jeune fille au chien" in June 1931 from an unidentified seller.

Thaw) 8 1973- The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH Date description;Provenance Footnotes 1 At the Salon of 1827 Delacroix presented a painting titled “Portrait de M. le comte de P[alatiano] en costume souliote,” a Greek aristocrat whom the artist may have met in Paris in late 1825 or early 1826, when the Count was on his way to London. In his 1885 catalogue of Delacroix’s oeuvre, Alfred Robaut used an engraving by Frédéric Villot, a student and friend of Delacroix, to illustrate the artist’s portrait of the Count of Palatiano. Executed in 1833, Villot’s engraving can be assumed to be an accurate representation of the Salon portrait. The background in the engraving more closely matches the simple background found in the Cleveland painting than it does the more detailed background in another version of the painting, known to be an autograph work, currently in the National Gallery of Prague. For many years, it was supposed that the painting now in Cleveland was the Salon picture. But after years of analysis and debate, it has been concluded, based on the painting’s formal characteristics as well as its provenance, that the Cleveland picture is one of numerous copies after a lost original—possibly the Salon painting. According to Robaut, the painting’s early provenance included, Villot, Heymann, Verdier, and Petit, but he may have partially confused its history with that of yet another portrait of Palatiano attributed to Delacroix, this one in a New York private collection. The Cleveland picture's whereabouts can be secured by January 26, 1881, when it was purchased from “de Laage” by Goupil & Co. De Laage is likely Paul de Laage, a prodigious collector of works by Delacroix who appears frequently in connection with works by Delacroix in the Goupil stock books. 2 Goupil's purchase the of the painting from de Laage is confirmed by the presence on the painting’s stretcher of the monogram and number “G&C 15510,” a stock number Goupil would later assign the painting, and which is cross-referenced in the stock books with its originally assigned number, 15099. The Goupil ledger lists a “Figure turque” accompanied by stock no. 15099 (Goupil Book 10, Stock No. 15099, Page 146, Row 15, http://archives.getty.edu:30008/getty_images/digitalresources/goupil/jpgs/900239-vol10-146.jpg, Dealer Stock Books, Getty Research Institute), purchased on January 26, 1881. Then, just one week later, the ledger shows a sale of “Figure turque” to Comte Pedro de Daupias for ff 6,700. One week after that, on February 7, Daupias sold the painting back to Goupil, where it now was assigned stock no. 15136, and on that same day, “Hattat” bought it for ff 7,500 (Goupil Book 10, Stock No. 15136, Page 149, Row 7, http://archives.getty.edu:30008/getty_images/digitalresources/goupil/jpgs/900239-vol10-149.jpg). Just one day later, on February 8, Hattat sold the painting back to Goupil for ff 4,200, and it was given stock no. 15138 (Goupil Book 10, Stock No. 15138, Page 149, Row 9, http://archives.getty.edu:30008/getty_images/digitalresources/goupil/jpgs/900239-vol10-149.jpg). On April 4, 1881, Goupil sold the painting for ff 7,500 to Goldschmidt & Co. of Frankfurt, who sold it back to Goupil on June 22 for ff 2,430, and it was assigned stock no. 15510, the number inscribed on the stretcher. Six years later, probably within days of the Goupil liquidation sale on May 35, 1887, it was offered for sale and failed to sell (Goupil Book 10, Stock No. 15510, Page 174, Row 6, http://archives.getty.edu:30008/getty_images/digitalresources/goupil/jpgs/900239-vol10-174.jpg), it was likely bought in by Drouot commissaire-priseur Escribe, who gave ff 4,200 to Goupil for the painting according to the stock book. The painting finally sold at the Goupil liquidation sale to dealer Hector Brame for ff 2,550 (Goupil Book 11, Stock No. 15510, Page 33, Row 14, http://archives.getty.edu:30008/getty_images/digitalresources/goupil/jpgs/900239-vol11-033.jpg). Lee Johnson, author of the Delacroix catalogue raisonné, argues that all of this back and forth indicates that even in the 1880s, the painting’s attribution was in doubt. He says that Goupil, too, knew it was not an autograph work, titling it “Figure turque” so as to distance it from Delacroix’s portrait of Palatiano. Former CMA curator William S. Talbot suspected, however, that the Goupil ledger entries do not record actual sales, as it seems unlikely that the picture would have been bought and then returned at such brief intervals, even if its attribution was questioned, but rather indicate consignments to dealers. Still, one must wonder whether the picture would have been assigned a new stock number after each consignment, new stock numbers are more typically given if a painting enters the same dealer’s possession at different points in time. While it may be debatable whether dealer sales do or should impact attribution, it seems clear from the numerous transactions within less than a year and the six-year period that followed in which it remained with the Goupil until it was put up for auction, that the painting’s authorship was questioned, if not doubted. Other attributions suggested by scholars have included Alexandre-Marie Colin, Richard Parkes Bonington, Adolphe Mouilleron, and the engraver Villot. 3 The record books of Brame & Lorenceau do not cover this period, and so the present-day gallery was unable to confirm the buyer and date of sale of this painting. 4 According to the Johnson catalogue raisonné, the Dieterle Family records at the Getty Research Institute, which include records from Galerie Georges Petit, say that dealer André Schoeller purchased the painting at the Chéramy sale on behalf of Pastré. However, at least one annotated copy of the sale catalogue gives the buyer as “Haro” (and a purchase price of ff 18,100), most likely referring to Henri Haro, son of Étienne-François Haro, both were dealers and collectors. While the Dieterle records are perhaps more likely to be accurate than an annotation, it is also possible that Haro, not Schoeller, was the agent who made the purchase on behalf of Pastré. 5 The Cleveland picture was certainly in Pastré’s possession by 1910, when he is listed as its owner in an exhibition at Galerie Georges Petit. In 1930 he was listed as the owner in Louis Hourticq’s monograph of Delacroix’s oeuvre. He may have owned the painting as late as 1950, when a footnote in the annotated edition of Delacroix’s journal from that year gives Pastré as the current owner. 6 Exhibition labels on the back of the painting, as well as a "DW" monogram and what is likely an inventory number (37/5), situate the painting in the collection of David-Weill. 7 Flora David-Weill likely came into possession of the painting when her husband died in 1952, we know with certainty that she had the painting by 1963, when she is listed as its owner in the 1963 Louvre exhibition, Centenaire d’Eugène Delacroix. 8 The painting appears in a 1972 exhibition held at Galerie Schmit in Paris. While it is possible that Thaw may have acted as an agent for Schmit for the sale of the picture to CMA, because Museum records make no reference to Schmit in connection with the transaction, it is more likely that Thaw purchased it outright from Schmit.;Provenance Citations;Alexandre Rosenberg, letter to Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Cohen, Feb. 14, 1983, in CMA curatorial file.;E.V.

Arago was a student of Delaroche and painted genre, history, and landscape paintings. In 1853, during the most successful period in Rousseau’s career, Arago became Inspecteur des Beaux-Arts, an important post in the fine arts administration. Thus, the painting may have been not only a token of friendship but also a demonstration of Rousseau’s appreciation for Arago’s service. 2 Bernard Lorenceau of Galerie Brame-Lorenceau furnished CMA with the name Charles Guérin, whom Lorenceau identified as a professor in Lyon who had died by 1983. 3 The names of the consignors to this sale are not disclosed in the catalogue, which identifies the listed works only as coming from the “collection de Madame X et divers amateurs.” There are no specific indications that Guérin consigned any paintings to this sale, so the source of Rousseau’s painting remains unknown.;Provenance Citations;Estate of Noah L.

Schmit’s Boudin catalogue raisonné lists “Gérard, Paris” following the 1921 sale in this painting’s provenance. Gérard may refer to Félix Gérard, a dealer who lent a Boudin to the 1899 exhibition in which the CMA painting appears. More likely, “Gérard” may be Raphael Gérard, a dealer who held a Boudin retrospective exhibition in 1937 and who bought and sold a number of works by the artist. Raphael Gérard also appears following Galerie Allard & Noël in the provenance of a Boudin currently at the MFA Boston. Although this connection between Allard & Noël and Raphael Gérard does strongly suggest that the Cleveland picture passed through the latter’s hands, no primary documentation has been found that situates the painting with any dealer or collector by the name of Gérard.

Pissarro and Snollaerts list the name as "Valentine Gallery", however, there was no gallery of that name until 1927. Most likely the painting was purchased by F. Valentine Dudensing on behalf of the gallery Richard Dudensing & Son, later Dudensing Galleries, belonging to his father, Frank, for whom he worked as manager at the time before opening his own gallery in 1926, named first the F. Valentine Dudensing Gallery and then the Valentine Gallery in 1927. Valentine Dudensing and his wife made the first of their annual buying trips to Europe in summer 1920 (communication from Julia May Boddewyn, March 6, 2017, in curatorial file). The Valentine Gallery specialized in modernist art, whereas the Dudensing Galleries specialized in 19th century art. However, it's possible that Valentine Dudensing subsequently acquired it for his own gallery and later sold it back to Durand-Ruel.;3.

De la Faille, Vincent van Gogh (New York and Paris, 1939), p. 170, no. 210, lists it as still being part of J. G. L. Nolst Trénité's collection.
