ProvenanceBernhard Keller (b. 1789 - d. 1870; Lugt 384), Schaffhausen; May 22-31, 1871, posthumous Keller sale, Gutekunst, Stuttgart, lot 1120. Probably by about 1919, George Robert White (b. 1847 - d. 1922), Boston [see note 1]; probably by inheritance from White to his sister, Harriet J. White (Mrs. Frederick T.) Bradbury (b. 1851 - d. 1930), Boston; 1930, bequest of Mrs. Harriet J. Bradbury to the MFA. (Accession Date: July 3, 1930)
NOTES:
[1] In 1922, George R. White bequeathed to his sister, Harriet J. Bradbury, his collection of pictures and other works of art. No itemized list of these works of art is known, but the collection was almost certainly formed by 1919, the date of his original will. When Mrs. Bradbury died in 1930 she left her art collection, including those items inherited from her brother, to the MFA.
