Hermann Kapferer, Paris, by July 17, 1888 [per Durand-Ruel, Paris, stock book for 1888 (no. 1687), as confirmed by Paul-Louis Durand-Ruel and Flavie Durand-Ruel, Durand-Ruel Archives, to the Art Institute of Chicago, Oct. 5, 2010, curatorial object file. Wildenstein 1996 does not include Hermann Kapferer in the painting’s provenance and claims that Durand-Ruel purchased the painting from Monet in October 1882; the Durand-Ruel Archives are unable to support this claim]; sold to Durand-Ruel, Paris, July 17, 1888, for 1,200 francs [per Durand-Ruel, Paris, stock book for 1888 (no. 1687), as confirmed by Paul-Louis Durand-Ruel and Flavie Durand-Ruel, Durand-Ruel Archives, to the Art Institute of Chicago, Oct. 5, 2010, curatorial object file. Wildenstein 1996 does not include this in the provenance]; possibly sold to Annie Swan Coburn (d. 1932), Chicago, by Apr. 26, 1928 [per Art Institute of Chicago 1932. There is a notation on the Art Institute’s Museum Registration Department Artists Sheets that reads, “Durand-Ruel 995 4/26/28,” and one on receipt 5300 that states “P995 D-R Ap ’26.” This sale cannot be confirmed with the Durand-Ruel Archives, Paul-Louis Durand-Ruel and Flavie Durand-Ruel, Durand-Ruel Archives, to the Art Institute of Chicago, Oct. 5, 2010, curatorial object file]; bequeathed to the Art Institute of Chicago, 1933.
