• 1922: bought from Robert Dunthorne (1850-1925), London dealer, by Hunt Henderson (1869-1939), New Orleans;
• 1938: possibly on the New York art market;
• 1941: bought by Grenville Lindell Winthrop (1864-1943)
• 1943: bequeathed by Winthrop to the Fogg Art Museum.

It is not known exactly when Henderson sold it, or whether it passed direct from Henderson to Winthrop. See details of provenance in MacDonald 1995 (cat. rais.) [more] (cat. no. 934).

Exhibitions

• 1884: probably 'Notes' - 'Harmonies' - 'Nocturnes', Messrs Dowdeswell, London, 1884 (cat. no. 61) as 'Red and black'.

A proof of the catalogue for the Dowdeswell exhibition lists 'Red and Black - Kate', but the 'Kate' was crossed out (Rosenwald collection, Rare Books, LC).
