Halverson, Glen Cove, Long Island, New York, and Robert W. Gascoigne, Boonton, New Jersey; purchased 1 November 1967 by NGA. [1] According to Thurman Wilkins (letter of 24 March 1969 to E. John Bullard, in NGA curatorial files), he was informed by Mr. Finnegan, Knoedler librarian, that the painting was "years ago in the collection of Fred R. Coudert, who sent it on consignment to [Knoedler] in 1912." The painting remained at Knoedler until June 1919, when it was returned unsold to Mr. Coudert. [2] This history was told to NGA's E. John Bullard by Nancy Gascoigne Richards in a telephone call on 30 January 1969 (record of the conversation in NGA curatorial files).
