    “Howard Keyser III [1904-1980], Island Heights, NJ and Philadelphia, PA, consigned to the Kennedy Galleries 1 (By 1947 - by 1965) [notes: 1 The circumstances of Keyser’s acquisition of the painting are unknown, but the scholarly record hints at two possible scenarios.  According to Alfred V. Frankenstein, Peto sold a number of paintings to James M. Bryant [1853-1923], of Island Heights, NJ, and these paintings were dispersed among Bryant’s son-in-law, Howard Keyser, Jr. [1875-1959], and Keyser’s four children:  James, Cheston, Mrs. William Wood, and Howard III.  Alternatively, according to a 1964 article about Peto's studio, there was "a Mr. Keyser who had bought paintings from Peto through the years for a few dollars”; presumably, this references Howard Keyser, Jr., who in turn could have passed ownership of the Cleveland painting to his son, Howard Keyser III.  We know for certain that Howard Keyser III had the painting by July 21, 1947, when Frankenstein compiled a list of the Peto paintings located in Keyser's Island Heights home (the Cleveland Peto is No. 7).]”
