Department of Drawings
[Fourth sale of the estate of Edgar Degas at the Galerie Georges Petit Paris July 2-4 1919 lot 114a sold]; [to Durand-Ruel New York (1919-?) sold]; to Lillie P. Bliss New York (?-1934) bequest; to Museum of Modern Art New York (1934-1943) deaccessioned and sold; [through Jacques Seligmann & Co. New York 1943]; to Robert L. Rosenwald Jenkintown PA (1943-?). Possibly Private Collection (?-1985) sold; [through Sotheby’s New York February 21 1985 lot 154]; to David M. Leventhal New York and London (1985-2005) partial and promised gift; to the Fogg Art Museum 2005.
Notes:
1. The drawing shared a frame with and was sold with three other drawings at the 1919 Degas estate sale (lots 114a-c). One of the other drawings (lot 114b) was bequeathed to the Fogg Art Museum in 1965 (1965.265).
2. Lillie P. Bliss passed away in 1931 and her bequest to the Museum of Modern Art was finalized 3 years late according to the terms of her will (which called for an adequate endowment fund to be secured in that interval).
3. In a sales room announcement for the February 21 1985 sale Sotheby’s publicized that Robert L. Rosenwald should additionally be listed as a previous owner of the drawing. Since Rosenwald was identified as a previous owner it is likely that he was not the private collector offering the work at the sale but that instead the drawing belonged to another private collector at the time. If this is the case it is unclear when the drawing was acquired by the unknown private collector. In his 1973 book “The History of Impressionism “ John Rewald lists the drawing as still being in the collection of Robert L. Rosenwald.
