NOTES:
[1] According to an undated statement from Durand-Ruel in the MFA curatorial file, "This picture ... was purchased by us from Mme. d'Angely, an elderly lady of Paris, who obtained it directly from Manet." A note attached to this specifies that Mme. d'Angely was the married name of Marguerite de Conflans, whom Manet painted several times. [2] The provenance (from 1914 to 1922) was provided in a letter from Sophie Pietri, Wildenstein Institute, Paris, to the MFA (December 22, 1999).This object is included in the following Selected Tour(s):
