    “(Probably Galerie Allard & Noël, Paris) 1 [notes: 1 The annotated copy of this catalogue held by Hôtel Drouot indicates that the buyer of the Boudin was “Allard.”  This notation likely refers to Galerie Allard et Noël, Paris, which appears in the provenances of several other paintings by Boudin, including one currently in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (67.906).  Schmit’s Boudin catalogue raisonné lists “Gérard, Paris” following the 1921 sale in this painting’s provenance.  Gérard may refer to Félix Gérard, a dealer who lent a Boudin to the 1899 exhibition in which the CMA painting appears.  More likely, “Gérard” may be Raphael Gérard, a dealer who held a Boudin retrospective exhibition in 1937 and who bought and sold a number of works by the artist.  Raphael Gérard also appears following Galerie Allard & Noël in the provenance of a Boudin currently at the MFA Boston. Although this connection between Allard & Noël and Raphael Gérard does strongly suggest that the Cleveland picture passed through the latter’s hands, no primary documentation has been found that situates the painting with any dealer or collector by the name of Gérard.  Following Gérard, Schmit includes Galerie Abels, Cologne, in the provenance, but again, thus far no confirmation that this dealer had the CMA painting has been located.]”

R. A. van Stolk, from Bergen, the Netherlands; no documentation of his involvement in the sale of the Cleveland Boudin has been found to date. ]”
