Constantin Brancusi; to [Peridot Gallery New York New York] sold; to Lois Orswell Promfret Center Connecticut c. 1955 gift; to Fogg Art Museum 1986.
NOTE: The original provenance given to the drawing had it purchased from Curt Valentin however John Honsbeen a former assistant to Curt Valentin before going to work for the Peridot Gallery says that Mrs. Orswell purchased the drawing from Peridot. A label from the original backing paper would seem to support this claim the provenance has been changed to reflect this information.
