Notes: [1] Correspondence, July 1, 2001 [2] Nee Miriam Caroline Alexandrine Rothschild, she married Albert Mazimilian von Goldschmidt-Rothschild in 1910. The dates of her ownership of the work are unclear; however, as the painting was subsequently with Ambroise Vollard, it would have left her collection at the very latest before July 1939. [3] In a letter to the CAM dated June 11, 1971, Schempp stated that he had purchased the painting from Ambroise Vollard. Also see correspondence, July 13, 1972, no. 7, Johnston collection file.
