Provenance:
Mrs. Emelie de L. Havemeyer (Widow of the late Theodore A. Havemeyer) sale, American Art Galleries, Madison Square South, New York, Wednesday evening, 8p.m., November 18th, 1914, Lot 44. Withdrawn, according to American Art News, Vol. XIII, No. 7, November 21, 1914.
Mentioned in an anonymous cutting in the artist’s papers in 1914, which must refer to the sale of Mrs Havemeyer’s pictures which were mostly European salon paintings, as it says ‘…Muller-Ury is about the only American artist represented.’
