ProvenanceCreated Trouville-sur-Mer, Normandy, France, 1876; Docteur Doctor Auguste-Henri Delineau (1848–1918), Paris [1]; [his sale, Hôtel Drouot, Paris, February 1, 1901, no. 39, as Entrée du port du Havre]. [Galerie Georges Petit, Paris, before 1933] [2]. [Sotheby & Co., London, December 7, 1966, no. 63, as L’Entrée du Port de Trouville]; John Dixon [3]. [Acquavella Galleries, Inc., New York, by 1967] [4]; North Carolina National Bank, Charlotte, North Carolina, May 1967; on long-term loan to NCMA, May 10, 1967–December 13,1972; gifted to NCMA December 13, 1972.

[1] Identification confirmed by partial label on stretcher, identifying only a “Mr. le docteur Delineau” but giving an address on boulevard Richard-Lenoir in Paris, noted as Auguste Delineau’s address in the 1885 membership list for the Société de Géographie, p. 32. In the preface to the sale of Dr. Delineau’s collection in 1901, the author notes that he had been collecting for 30 years (since 1871), and that he was friends with and bought paintings directly from many modern painters. Boudin is better represented in the catalogue than any other artist, so we can infer that Delineau bought most if not all of his paintings directly from Boudin.
[2] Galerie Georges Petit operated from 1846–1933.
[3] Noted as buyer in catalogue of 1966 Sotheby’s sale. This could possibly be Irish artist John Dixon (1895–1970).
[4] On consignment to NCMA from Acquavella Galleries, March 1967.
