Provenance
Prince Wladimir Nikolaevitch Argoutinsky-Dolgoroukoff, Paris (1875-1941), L.2602d; his sale, R.W.P. de Vries, Amsterdam, 27 March 1925, lot 371; acquired by the auction house for £10; anonymous sale ('Property of a Collector'), Sotheby's, London, 16 March 1927, lot 17; purchased there by Sir Robert Witt, London (1872-1952), L.2228b; Witt Bequest 1952
N.B. formerly this was listed as belonging to Col. F.G. Kenyon Slaney. This confusion arose due to Witt always noting down the first name in any sale catalogue on his index card, where he recorded his purchases; however this lot was not part of Kenyon Slaney's possessions in the sale on this day.
