  Provenance Footnotes

  1 It can reasonably be assumed that it was Foucart who purchased this painting on the Paris art market in 1966, although the de David à Delacroix exhibition catalogue does not explicitly state that it was the present owner - whom we know from James Rubin's 1973 article to be Foucart - who purchased it in 1966.  

  2 The 1974-1975 exhibition de David à Delacroix, held at the Grand Palais, notes that the painting had been purchased on the art market in Paris in 1966.
