    “(Ernest Joresco, Chicago, sold to the Cleveland Museum of Art) 1 (Probably 1965-1968) [notes: 1 There is little known about Joresco's art dealing activities, although evidence of a prominent ballroom dancing career from the early 1930s-1950s is prevalent.  In the 1970s he sold 14 works of art to the Art Institute of Chicago, and he seems to have had a working relationship with the Art Institute's Curator of Earlier Painting and Sculpture at the time, J. Patrice Marandel, as demonstrated by several pieces of correspondence.]”

    “James G. McMillan [d. 1965], Chicago, probably consigned to Ernest Joresco 1 (Probably until 1965) [notes: 1 McMillan was a member of the Art Institute of Chicago and president of the Chicago-based Wander Company, the manufacturer of Ovaltine.  The painting was likely consigned by McMillan's family to Ernest Joresco for sale after his death in 1965.  The earlier provenance of the Pellegrini remains unknown and is complicated by the fact that there are multiple copies and replicas of the painting.]”
