InscriptionsLower right: Victor CharretonProvenanceBy about 1922, probably sold by the artist to Dudensing Galleries, New York [see note]; January 8, 1923, sold by Dudensing Galleries to John Taylor Spaulding (b. 1870 - d. 1948), Boston; 1948, bequest of John Taylor Spaulding to the MFA. (Accession Date: June 3, 1948)

NOTE: It is not known precisely when or how Dudensing Galleries acquired this painting, but dealer F. Valentine Dudensing acquired another Charreton painting (MFA accession no. 48.528) directly from the artist in 1922, and wrote to John Taylor Spaulding about having visited Charreton in France. The gallery exhibited work by the artist in the early 1920s.
