Provenance

The artist, sold 1909; private collection (from 1909); J. Otis Wardwell, Boston (d. 1940, sold to Northrop);¹ G. N. Northrop, possibly by descent to his daughter, Jane Northrop Bancroft, d. 1984; Harding F. Bancroft, her husband, by descent, given to the Clark; Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute, 1984. 1. Two labels on the reverse of the frame indicate that this picture was “bought at sale of J. O. Wardwell” by G. N. Northrop. Two other labels indicate the business address of Wardwell, who was a lawyer in Boston. No public sale of Wardwell’s collection is known, and the relationship between G. N. Northrop and Jane Northrop Bancroft is uncertain.
