Lot Essay

TISSOT'S CARNET OR ACCOUNTBOOK SUGGESTS THAT THERE MAY HAVE BEEN TWO VERSIONS OF THIS PAINTING WHICH WERE DIFFERENT IN SIZE (NO DIMENSIONS ARE GIVEN). IN 1860 THE CARNET RECORDS MARGUERITE á L'EGLISE á GENOUX, AND MENTIONS GOUPIL AS PURCHASER (FOR FF500). IN THE CARNET TISSOT LATER RECORDED THE SUBSEQUENT HISTORY OF THE FIRST VERSION.

WE ARE GRATEFUL TO WILLARD E. MISFELDT FOR HIS HELP IN PREPARING THIS ENTRY.
