Provenance

Pablo Ruiz Picasso; to [Ambroise Vollard]. [Carroll Galleries, New York (? - 1915) sold]; to John Quinn, New York (1915-1926), sold (by his estate); to [Paul Rosenberg]. Dr. and Mrs. Harry Bakwin, New York NY, 1926. Maurice Wertheim, New York, (1936-1951) bequest; to Fogg Art Museum, 1951. Notes Per correspondence with the owners' grandson, the painting was sold during World War II, this seems unlikely as Wertheim purchased the painting in 1936.
