Provenance

[Possibly Galerie Monna Lisa, Paris, in 1934, sold to Clark, 13 Feb. 1934];¹ Robert Sterling Clark (possibly 1934–55); Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute, 1955. 1. An invoice in the Curatorial files from the Galerie Monna Lisa, Paris, of 13 Feb. 1934 reads “1 paysage d’Henri Callot / Sologne.” This may record the purchase of this picture or of Callot’s Port of La Rochelle (1955.668); since the Sologne region of France is inland, however, neither painting reflects such geography. Either the notation is incorrect, or the painting invoiced is no longer in the collection.
