Note:
Ernest Brummer (1891-1964) was a renowned art dealer who, along with his brother Joseph, founded the historically significant Brummer Galleries, which held a paramount importance in both New York and Paris during the early to mid-20th century. The galleries played a role in shaping the tastes and collections of art enthusiasts and museums alike, introducing European art to American audiences and vice versa. 

An inventory card accompanying this lot states that it was acquired from Ephron Gallery, 18 May 1943.
