Provenance

[Durand-Ruel, Paris, possibly sold to Hill, 1891]; possibly James J. Hill, Saint Paul (1891–d. 1916);¹ [Wildenstein, New York, sold to Clark, 22 Dec. 1942]; Robert Sterling Clark (1942–55); Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute, 1955. 1. According to information in the James J. Hill archives, Hill purchased two landscape paintings by Lépine from Durand-Ruel, Paris, on 28 Feb. 1891. No further information about the paintings is available, and the subsequent history of their ownership is not known. See correspondence of Nov.–Dec. 2011 in the Clark’s curatorial file.
