Experts later traced the painting back to the 18th century where they identified two prior French owners. But the painting was mistakenly thought to have been in a private collection for more than 100 years until the 1983 sale at Christie’s.Actually, as referenced in the Met’s new provenance for the work, it was held in a private collection in Britain in the mid-1920s when Mr. Aram bought it. The painting then passed “to Sommer as a contested part of his purchase of Aram’s villa in Schapbach, Germany,” the Met said on its website. (English)
