Provenance
- Recorded Ownership History
-
François Heugel, Paris, France (after 1940, Lugt 3373), by descent; to his heirs, sold in 2010; [ to Galerie Paul Prouté, Paris, France (2010-2011), sold]; to Harvard Art Museums, 2011.
Notes:
According to Anna Zablocki of the Galerie Paul Prouté, the gallery purchased the François Heugel print collection from Mr. Heugel's family in 2010. A large part of François Heugel's print collection had been purchased from the Paul Prouté gallery around 1939, and so it is possible that the print previously belonged to the gallery.
