ProvenanceNovember, 1904, probably sold by the artist to Helen Read Gardner (Mrs. James F.) Curtis (b. 1839 - d. 1927), Boston [see note]; 1927, gift of the estate of Mrs. Curtis to the MFA. (Accession Date: December 1, 1927)

NOTE: This was very likely purchased by Mrs. Curtis from the artist at an exhibition and sale of his work in Cambridge, MA, in November 1904. However, it is also possible that the painting was acquired by or through her son, Francis Gardner Curtis, who had studied and exhibited with the artist from 1898 to 1902.
