Provenance1960, sold by Mrs. A. Mohr, Zurich, to the Exeter Trust, Zurich [see note 1]; 1961, sold by the Exeter Trust to the MFA for $7,160. (Accession Date: April 12, 1961)

NOTE: According to the invoice from the Exeter Trust (March 22, 1961). However, in earlier correspondence to the MFA (February 20, 1961), the Exeter Trust makes clear that it functions only as the middleman in the transaction, and is not the owner of the sculpture.
