Auguste-Louis-César-Hipolite-Théodore de Lespinasse de Langeac comte d'Arlet sold [Mont de Piété Paris July 11-19 1803 lot 235]; [1] to Lovencourt Paris [2]. Private Collection Massachusetts. [Richard Gray Cambridge MA] sold; to Lewis Nierman 1968 partial gift; to Fogg Art Museum 1972
Notes
[1] Fredericksen states "As for Lespinasse de Langeac we know that he died in February 1814 and was a dealer." "...it is not certain that the Stella was his property" but "three of the extant copies of the catalogue are inscribed with variations of [his name] indicating that he was the principle consigner" (Burton B. Fredericksen The Getty Information Institute)
[2]. Fredericksen states "The identity of the latter [Lovencourt] is unknown and the name is found spelled in different ways including even Novecoure. We have adopted Lovencourt simply because it seems to be the most common and probable form. His activity was very limited and excepting one purchase in 1801 all of his activity (24 purchases) took place in 1803. We have no idea whether he was a dealer or a collector nor what happened to his pictures." ( Burton B. Fredericksen The Getty Information Institute)
