View of Mont Sainte Victoire; verso: Study of a Tree

View through Harvard Museums
Department of Drawings Rouland. Bernheim-Jeune Paris. Vicomte Bernard d’Hendecourt Paris sold; [through Sotheby’s London May 9 1929 lot 165]. Paul Rosenberg Paris and New York. Paul J. Sachs Cambridge MA (by 1936-1937) sold; [through Jacques Seligmann & Co. New York November 1937]; to Henry P. McIlhenny Philadelphia PA (1937-1957) gift; to Fogg Art Museum 1957. Notes: 1. The drawing was listed in the 1936 “Fogg Art Museum Harvard University Handbook” (third edition p. 160) as being in the Paul J. Sachs collection. 2. The drawing is listed as number 6462 in the Jacques Seligmann & Co. stock catalogue from 1937-1938 (Jacques Seligmann & Co. archives Archives of American Art online). The entry is crossed out possibly indicating that the drawing was sold during this time (see note 3). 3. In a night letter dated November 9 1937 C.M. de Hauke of Jacques Seligmann & Co. notifies Paul J. Sachs that he sold the “Cezanne watercolor” to Henry McIlhenny. This almost certainly refers to the drawing in question as Sachs expressed interest in selling the work in correspondence with Seligmann & Co. predating this letter (Jacques Seligmann & Co. archives Archives of American Art online). In addition in a memo dated July 17 1988 Agnes Mongan of the Fogg Art Museum recalls that Paul Sachs had been eager to sell the watercolor. She specifies that the offer to McIlhenny was made with the understanding that he would bequeath the work to the Fogg upon his death. Harvard Art Museums/Fogg Museum Gift of Henry P. McIlhenny
