Provenance

Where it has been

  1. by 1922 –
    Edouard Kann [1873-1927], Paris, France
    high confidenceCleveland Museum of Art
    “Edouard Kann [1873-1927], Paris, France (by 1922) [notes: The circumstances of Edouard's acquisition of the Aved painting are not known.  The nephew of Rodolphe Kann and the son of Maurice Kann, both prominent collectors, Edouard does not appear to have inherited the painting from either.]”
  2. Until 1956? –
    Possibly Madame Delaney, Paris, France
    high confidenceCleveland Museum of Art
    “Possibly Madame Delaney, Paris, France (Until 1956?) [notes: 1The original source for the inclusion of Delaney in this provenance is unknown. The Aved catalogue raisonné has several paintings with "Delaunay" in their provenances, suggesting the possibility that this name have at some point been incorrectly recorded as “Delaney.”  However, a Tiepolo painting in the Samuel Kress Collection at the National Gallery (1952.5.78) contains Edouard Kann in its provenance followed by Mme. D[elaney], indicating that “Delaney” is, in fact, the correct name.  A 1933 Galerie Charpentier sale in which the Tiepolo appears lists the owner as “Mme. D,” while Paintings and Sculpture from the Kress Collection (1951) identifies Madame Delaney as the owner following Kann.  The original source connecting Mme. Delaney to the Tiepolo is unknown.  That the Tiepolo was previously owned by Edouard Kann and then by Delaney does give credence to the inclusion of Delaney following Kann in the Aved provenance.]”
  3. Dec. 10, 1956 –
    (Sale: Hôtel Drouot, Dec. 10, 1956, lot J, sold to Wildenstein & Co.)

    “(Sale: Hôtel Drouot, Dec. 10, 1956, lot J, sold to Wildenstein & Co.) (Dec. 10, 1956) [notes: 1 In addition to the Aved painting, Wildenstein also purchased Rigaud's Portrait of Cardinal Guillaume Dubois (CMA 1967.17) at this sale.  Madame Delaney may be one of the “divers amateurs” (various private collectors) whose collection comprised this sale, although this is unconfirmed. ]”
