ProvenanceCreated Amsterdam, ca. 1665–1670. [Possibly Amsterdam, November 14, 1791, no. 125]. Étienne-Edmond Martin, Baron de Beurnonville (1825-1906), Paris; [his sale, Charles Pillet, Paris, May 9-16, 1881, no. 458, as Site norvégien]; [Charles Sedelmeyer, Paris] [1]; Louis Viardot (1800-1883), Paris; [his sale, Hôtel Drouot, Paris, April 30, 1884, no. 11, as Site norvégien]. Otto Wesendonck (1815-1896), Berlin and Bonn [2]; Elizabeth von Risselmann, Görbitsch Castle, Garbicz, Poland, before 1951. Probably private collection, Berlin, 1951. [Newhouse Galleries, New York]; sold to NCMA, 1952.

[1] Sedelmeyer’s purchase according to Broos 1990, Great Dutch Paintings from America. Ownership has yet to be confirmed.

[2] The present painting probably left the Wesendonk collection before 1914. It does not appear in the 1914 catalogue of the Wesendonck painting collection loaned c. 1906 by his son Karl von Wesendonck to the Provinzial-Museum Bonn (later LandesMuseum Bonn). In 1925 the city of Bonn bought this collection, later selling a few of the paintings. This painting does not appear in the sale via Rudolph Lepke’s in Berlin, October 27 1925 or that via Lempertz in Cologne, November 27, 1935. There is an 1888 catalogue of the Wesendonck collection that has not yet been checked.
