ProvenanceSaid to have come from the collection of the J. Montgomery and Sarah C. Sears family [who according to family records did own a La Farge entitled "Woman With Upraised Arms, Salome's Dance)]; thus presumably to their daughter Helen Sears (Mrs. J.D. Bradley); about 1970, with Landry Auctions, Antiques, and Fine Art sale, Essex, MA; about 1970, to James F. and Jean Baer O’Gorman; 2015, gift of James F. and Jean Baer O’Gorman to the MFA.
