Notes:
1. In his 1971 publication “The Claude Lorrain Album in the Norton Simon Inc. Museum of Art” Marcel Roethlisberger claims that the “Wildenstein-Norton” album the drawing belonged to was dismantled in 1970 (see p.5). It is certain that the album had been dismantled by 1973 when the Fogg Art Museum received sixty individually framed Claude Lorrain drawings to be exhibited in the traveling exhibition “The Claude Lorrain Album in The Norton Simon Inc. Museum of Art.” Hence the above listed provenance refers to the entire album until circa 1970 when it was dismantled and the drawing was sold separately.
2. The private collector Norton Simon purchased the drawing in 1968. In 1974 Norton Simon assumed the leadership of the financially troubled Pasadena Museum of Art. After integrating his private collection into the museum’s collection the museum was renamed the Norton Simon Museum of Art in 1975. The drawing may have been part of the museum's collection before being sold in 1980.
