Possibly sold at Moore’s Art Galleries, New York, May 6, 1887, lot 92 [per Moore’s Art Gallery sale catalogue 1887, although the Durand-Ruel Archive states “la vente à la ‘Moore’s Art Galleries’: il s’agissait d’une vente fictive (aucun tableau n’a été vendu) destinée à faire de la publicité pour les tableaux apportés par Durand-Ruel à New York,” Paul-Louis Durand-Ruel and Flavie Durand-Ruel, Durand-Ruel Archives, Oct. 5, 2010, curatorial object file].
