1937, purchased from a gallery (probably* Washington, DC) by Alexander and Henrietta W. Hollaender (Oak Ridge, TN); 1987, deposited on long-term loan to Elvehjem Museum of Art [now called Chazen Museum of Art]; 1992, bequeathed to Elvehjem Museum of Art [ now called Chazen Museum of Art]. *The only purchase information found in the object file is a note in the source line of the curatorial sheet that reads, “Washington Gallery 1937.” It is unclear whether “Washington” refers to the name of a gallery, or its location.
