Provenance1883, Alessandro Castellani (b. 1823 – d. 1883), Paris, London, and Naples; March 17-April 10, 1884, posthumous Castellani sale, Castellani Palace, Rome, probably lot 1109, unsold [see note 1]. 1898, sold by Edward Perry Warren (b. 1860 – d. 1928), Lewes House, Sussex, to the MFA for $69,618.13 [see note 2]. (Accession Date: September 20, 1898)
NOTES: [1] According to Edward Perry Warren’s records, the sculpture came from Rome and had been in the possession of Castellani. The sculpture matches the description of lot 1109 in the 1884 sale, a 2-meter tall statue of a woman, which is said to have been found in Sorrento. Many thanks to Jörg Deterling for his assistance in locating this record. [2] This is the total price for MFA accession nos. 98.641 – 98.940.
