1949-present; Given with life interest in 1940, the Heine collection came to the CAM in 1949.; Probably sold to Heine by John Levy Galleries, New York, or Schneider-Gabriel Galleries, New York. Albert K. Schneider worked as Emile L. Heine's dealer for many years. He and Gilbert Gabriel worked with John levy for qpproximately twenty-five years before opening their own gallery, Schneider-Galleries, in 1938. In 1940 Heine gave a collection of paintings to the CAM with life interest reserved. Schneider-Gabriel Galleries was requested by the CAM to send detailed information on the works that Heine acquired through Schneider-Gabriel Galleries or John Levy Galleries. The provenance information sent by Schneider-Gabriel Galleries does not offer specific dates of sale, nor does it clarify if Heine purchased the paintings from them or from John Levy Galleries. See Art Digest, October 1, 1938, p. 11; correspondence, May 25, 1940, July 5, 1940, and October 10, 1940, Heine collection file; Schneider-Gabriel Galleires booklet, no. 38, Heine collection file.; Gooden and Fox commissioned the painting and sold it to George W. Palmer.
