1906–?, presumably in the Collection of Ambroise Vollard (1866–1939), Paris, France [2]
1905–1906, in possession of the artist
Notes:
[1] Per invoice from Acquavella Galleries, dated January 31, 1977 (in museum registration files).
[2] Between 31 May and 10 September 1906, Vollard paid Vlaminck a total of 2,210 francs for sixty-eight paintings bought over that period from the artist’s studio. Although Vollard recorded the purchase of Vlaminck’s studio in his ledgers, he did not itemize individual works. However, since Vlaminck had virtually no purchasers for his work at this time, however, one can assume that the majority of his early Fauve pictures passed through Vollard’s hands (Rebecca Rabinow, ed., Cézanne to Picasso: Ambroise Vollard, Patron of the Avant-Garde (New Haven, CT: Yale University Press, 2006), 281; 404).
Provenance research is ongoing for this and many other items in the Eskenazi Museum of Art permanent collection. For more information about the provenance of this artwork, please contact the department curator with specific questions.
