Possibly Ferdinand Blumenthal [1847-1914], New York, later Paris, by 1914; {1} possibly by inheritance to his widow Cecilia Blumenthal [1863-1927], later Duchesse de Montmorency, Paris, and by descent to her son, Count Cecil Pecci-Blunt, né Cecil Blumenthal [d. 1965], Rome, Paris and Santa Barbara; {2} given to the Indianapolis Museum of Art in 1962 (62.176).

{1}It is possible that Count Cecil Pecci-Blunt inherited these paintings from his father's collection although this information has not been verified. Both Count Cecil Pecci-Blunt and his brother inherited their father's art collection after the death of their parents. {2} Before his death in 1965, Count Cecil Pecci-Blunt, with the assistance of Wildenstein & Co, New York, dispersed a number of paintings from the Blumenthal collection, several of which can be found in U.S. Museums, such as the National Gallery of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and the Clark Art Institute in Williamstown.
