It was shipped May 11, 1940, and was included in the Golden Gate International Exposition, San Francisco, 1940, no. 256. The painting was apparently included in another exhibition in San Francisco in 1944, but the lender and specific location have not yet been identified. The archives of the Arts Club of Chicago are held at Newberry Library, Chicago. Copies of relevant documents are in the CAM curatorial file. [4] A letter dated June 6, 2000, from Hischl & Adler confirms they sold the painting to Leonid Kipnis Gallery in November 1958.
