Provenance: Prince Nikolai Viktorovich Gagarin [1873-1925], Moscow, by 1892.[1] Prince Paul Trubetskoi, Paris, until c. 1921-1922.[2] (Van Diemen & Co., The Hague); sold August 1922 to Ralph Harman [1873-1931] and Mary Batterman [d. 1951] Booth, Grosse Point, Michigan; by descent 1949 to their daughter and her husband, William and Virginia Vogel, Milwaukee; their daughter, Grace Vogel Aldworth [d. 2002] Chicago, by 1977;[3] gift 1981 to NGA. [1] In this year the picture was included in a charity exhibition in Moscow of pictures from private collections, according to an undated letter (reply dated 7 February 1992) from Konstantin Akinsha, Moscow correspondent for _Art News_ magazine, in NGA curatorial files. [2] The Akinsha letter cited in note 1 states that the painting seems to have been imported to the U.S. from Paris in 1921-1922; however, it must have been back in Europe by 1922, when Ralph and Mary Booth purchased it from Van Deimen. [3] Information on the provenance was provided by Grace Vogel Aldworth and Mrs. William Vogel in their letter of 20 December 1983 (in NGA curatorial files).
