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 |

Edwin Edwards (d. 1879) and his wife Elizabeth were friends of Fantin-Latour and acted as dealers for him in England.;[2] He lent this painting to the "Exposition de l'Oeuvre de Fantin-Latour" (Paris, May-June, 1906), cat. no. 82, and is listed as the owner by Mme. Fantin-Latour, Catalogue de l‘Oeuvre Complet (1849-1904) de Fantin-Latour (Paris: Henri Floury, 1911), p. 148, cat. no. 1410.;[3] In 1947, a painting by Fantin-Latour of a "bouquet of roses in a glass" (“bouquet de roses dans un verre”) was listed, without dimensions or an image, among the objects that had been confiscated in 1942 from the home of Jean Ferdinand-Dreyfus, the eldest son of Ferdinand Dreyfus, and had not yet been returned. See Bureau Central des Restitutions, Répertoire des Biens Spoliés en France Durant la Guerre, 1939-1945, vol. 2, Tableaux, tapisseries, et sculptures (Berlin, 1947), p. 230, no. 5128. This painting had also been reported on Jean Ferdinand-Dreyfus’s itemized art claim to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Paris, 1945 (RA 625). 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).

A bronze of this subject indeed appears in general installation photographs of the 1949 Paris exhibition (Dossier Kaganovitch, Documentation du Musée d'Orsay, Paris), although Kaganovitch reportedly also owned the "F" cast as well, albeit later, in 1952.

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.

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.

Butkin 1980- The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH;Provenance Footnotes 1 Inscribed “à son ami A Arago,” this painting was given by Rousseau to his friend, Alfred Arago. 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.

(Wildenstein & Co., New York, sold to Emily Blossom) Emily Blossom [1913-1991], Cleveland, OH, given to the Cleveland Museum of Art The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH;Provenance Footnotes 1 1 A painting titled "Vue de Bordeaux" that matches the dimensions of the Cleveland picture appears in this sale of works by Boudin. 2 1 Scholl was the lender of the Cleveland picture to a Boudin exhibition at the École des Beaux-Arts in 1899. 3 1 The annotated copy of this catalogue held by Hôtel Drouot indicates that the buyer of the Boudin was “Allard.” This notation likely refers to Galerie Allard et Noël, Paris, which appears in the provenances of several other paintings by Boudin, including one currently in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (67.906). 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. Following Gérard, Schmit includes Galerie Abels, Cologne, in the provenance, but again, thus far no confirmation that this dealer had the CMA painting has been located. 4 1 The CMA painting is no. 4 in the 1950 van Wisselingh & Co. exhibition, Maîtres français XIXme et XXme siècles. Following van Wisselingh, the Schmit catalogue raisonné lists dealer C. R.

Durand-Ruel photo no. 2682, and Durand-Ruel photographic archives no. 21166, according to Wally F. Galleries receipt.;2. Joachim Pissarro and Claire Durand-Ruel Snollaerts, Pissarro: Critical Catalogue of Paintings, Milan and Paris, 2005, no. 995. 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. The consignor of this lot is listed as "Collection de Madame de R." (this collection is unidentified).;4. See Pissarro and Snollaerts, no. 995.;5. "Wally F." stands for Wally Findlay, the dealership is now known as Wally Findlay Galleries.;6. Copy of dated receipt from Wally F. Galleries to Mr. & Mrs. John C.
