This painting, completed in 1869, has changed hands often, but has belonged to passionate collectors such as the painter Amand Gautier, its first owner, a friend of Monet, François Depeaux, one of the first collectors of Impressionism, or Max Silberberg, an industrialist from Wrocław in Silesia, who had to sell the painting in 1932 for economic reasons. Between each of these owners, the painting passed through the doors of several of the most famous art dealers: Durand-Ruel, Bernheim-Jeune in Paris and Paul Cassirer in Berlin.According to the sale records, in 1932 the painting was purchased by a “Mrs Benedict”, who purchased numerous other works; she is noted as “Benedict de Chollet” in other documents, but has never been identified. It is therefore difficult to determine whether she made the purchase in a personal capacity or as an intermediary for a third party.We lose track of the painting after this last reference. (English)
