Provenance

[P. L. Everard, Paris, sold to Goderis, 1870]; A. Goderis, Antwerp (1870–c. 1910);¹ possibly R. Horace Gallatin, New York; [Knoedler, New York, sold to Clark, 24 Jan. 1924, as Marais de Boves, near Amiens]; Robert Sterling Clark (1924–55); Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute, 1955. 1. The first two entries in the provenance come from the Knoedler invoice, which states that “for about 40 years the picture was in the possession of A. Goderis of Antwerp. He bought it of a Paris dealer P. L. Everard in 1870 when on account of the siege, many valuable things were removed from Paris to Brussels.” The following name, R. Horace Gallatin—a collector who owned numerous Barbizon paintings and gave his collection to the National Gallery of Art on his death in 1948—is mentioned only in a note in the Clark’s curatorial file.
