{4} Correspondence with the Frick Reference Library, dated 23 December 1941, indicates that the portrait was the property of Mrs. Edgar Leonora Speyer, New York. As the notes of Mr. Tarkington's secretary, dated 1941, and correspondence between the IMA and the Frick reference library indicate, the name of Speyer has also been phonetically interpreted as E.S. Beyer and Edwin S. Bayer. A musician and Pulitzer-winning poet, Mrs. Leonora Speyer married the wealthy banker and former member of the British Privy Council Sir Edgar Speyer in 1902. The art collection of Sir Edgar Speyer [1862-1932] was the subject of an article in the Burlington magazine, see P.M. Turner, "The House and Collection of Mr. Edgar Speyer," The Burlington Magazine for Connoisseurs 5, 1904, pp. 544-549, 551, 553, 555, but this painting is not mentioned. For general information on the Speyers, see "The Late Sir Edgar Speyer," New York Times, 20 March 1932.
