Department of American Paintings Sculpture & Decorative Arts
Probably the Smithsonian Institution Washington D.C. [1] to David I. Bushnell Jr. in exchange for a wampum necklace and a wristlet August 1918; to his mother Belle J. Bushnell; her bequest to Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology 1946 (added to accession 41-72) transferred; to Harvard Art Museums 2024
Notes
[1] The works were in Catlin's studio/living quarters at the Smithsonian Institution (in the turret of the "Castle" building) at the time of his death. As his wife and several children predeceased him and because the Smithsonian had the works on hand when several years later the family that held the contents of his original "Indian Gallery" gifted those to create the definitive Catlin collection and there is no record of a sale probated will transfer or auction between the family and the Smithsonian it seems most likely the Smithsonian claimed his studio contents as its property.
Harvard Art Museums/Fogg Museum Transfer from the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology Harvard University gift of the Estate of Belle J. Bushnell 1946
