PROVENANCEOctober 18, 1819, possibly Gottfried Winkler sale, Leipzig, lot 7. December 16, 1885, possibly D. M. Alewijn sale, Amsterdam, lot 24 [see note 1]. 1957, Oliver Francis Lambart (b. 1913 - d. 1986), 2nd Bt., Beau Parc, County Meath, Ireland [see note 2]. 1958, Leggatt Brothers, London; 1958, sold by Leggatt to M. Knoedler and Co., London and New York (stock no. A6965) [see note 3]; 1958, sold by Knoedler to the MFA for $27,000.00. (Accession Date: October 9, 1958) NOTES: [1] Leonard J. Slatkes and Wayne Franits, The Paintings of Hendrick ter Brugghen: Catalogue Raisonné (Philadelphia: John Benjamins, 2007), cat. A85, pp. 207-208, have tentatively identified this painting with a composition by Gerrit van Honthorst, representing a young man with a feathered hat singing from a notebook, which appeared in the Winkler sale in 1819 (measuring about 81 x 67.5 cm) and the Alewijn sale in 1885 (measuring 80 x 62 cm). The MFA painting measures 85.2 x 73.6 cm. [2] When Lambart lent the painting to the exhibition "Paintings from Irish Collections," (Municipal Gallery of Modern Art, Dublin, 1957, cat. no. 95), it was attributed to Gerrit van Honthorst. [3] According to information provided by the Getty Provenance Index, Knoedler owned the painting jointly with Abdy. (English)
