NOTES:

[1] On the reverse of the painting, in pencil, is a number identified by Charles C. Cunningham as possibly the mark of Samuel Putnam Avery (b. 1822 - d. 1904), a New York art dealer. It is not known for certain whether his gallery is associated with this stock number, or whether it played a role in the importation and sale of this painting. [2] On the reverse of the painting is mark identified by Cunningham (as above, n. 1) as possibly coming from Vose Galleries, Boston, but this has not been verified. [3] David P. Kimball first lent this painting to the MFA in 1921.
