    high confidenceCleveland Museum of Art
    “Ernest May [1845-1925], Paris, France (Until 1925) [notes: Ernest May, a banker and art collector, may have purchased the painting directly from Cazin or possibly at the 1876 salon, where the painting was exhibited.  On May 2, 1908, Galerie Georges Petit held Cazin’s estate sale, which contained 31 works by the artist, but the CMA picture is not listed.  Although May bought back a number of the works included in a June 4, 1890 sale of his own collection, the Cleveland painting is not among the several Cazin works included.  In any case, a handwritten note in the CMA curatorial file says that May kept the Cazin until his death in 1925, and indeed, an exhibition at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs from that year situates the painting in the “Coll. de M. Ernest May.”]”
