Catalogue Note
We are grateful to Mary Tavener Holmes who, based on first-hand inspection, confirms the painting to be the sketch described in Mme. Lancret's sale (see Provenance below).
She also adds that Lancret made a number of these oil sketches, many of which remained in his personal collection and then passed on to his wife. Other examples are found in the Musée du Louvre, Paris; Museum of Art, Detroit; Alte Pinakothek, Munich.
