Provenance

Where it has been

  1. Probably 1859 – 1880
    Nicolas Toussaint Hadengue [1817-1877] and Marie Sandras Hadengue [1827-1893], Paris
    high confidenceCleveland Museum of Art
    “Nicolas Toussaint Hadengue [1817-1877] and Marie Sandras Hadengue [1827-1893], Paris (Probably 1859-1880) [notes: Mlle. Hadengue” is inscribed on the back of the canvas; this notation may refer to Marie Sandras Hadengue, who probably consigned the painting to Hôtel Drouot in 1880, three years after her husband Nicolas’s death.  The painting was certainly in the Hadengue collection: it appears in the 1880 Drouot sale, and furthermore, Nicolas and Cals were friends. The Hadengue family owned several paintings by the artist, including three portraits of Nicolas – one for each of their children. Nicolas found his success in the textile mills of northern France, and bought a number of paintings from artists working at the time. ]”

    “(Hadengue-Sandras sale, Hôtel Drouot, Paris, Feb. 2-3, 1880, no. 6) (1880) [notes: In the Drouot sale catalogue, the painting is titled “La partie de piquet, effet de lampe.”  “Piquet” refers to “Spades,” and so the title translates to “Game of Spades by lamplight.”  Although the painting is not reproduced in the catalogue, this description, along with the dimensions given and the reference to its oval shape, make the painting a clear match for the Cleveland picture.]”
