Catalogue Note

This painting was formerly thought to be that identified by Hofstede de Groot (A Catalogue RaisonnĂ©..., London 1909, vol II, pp. 568-69, no. 591) as the painting entitled "Le Port au Foin" in the collections of the Chevalier de la Roque and Anne-Joseph Peilhon in Paris in the 18th Century.  This painting is most probably 18th Century in origin, although it has since been extensively restored.
