Provenance

Recorded Ownership History
Henri-Charles Guérard (1845-1897), Paris [1]. Possibly August Laube, Zurich; to Private Collection, Germany. Samuel Josefowitz, Lausanne, Switzerland, sold; to [Robert M. Light & Co., Boston], sold; to Marjorie B. and Martin Cohn, Arlington, MA, 2006, gift; to Harvard Art Museums, 2016.

[1] This print was never published in Manet's lifetime. The plate and prints were in Guérard's studio until they were likely dispersed by his family and not part of his personal collection so there is no collector's mark.
