Souvenir du Lac de Némi. Bataliers à la rive was formerly in the collection of New York’s Watson B. Dickerman, the founder of Dominick & Dickerman, one of the oldest investment banking firms in America and earliest members of the New York Stock Exchange. Dickerman had an important collection of European paintings and over the years works from his collection, such as those by Jacob van Ruisdael, Jean-Honoré Fragonard, Joseph Mallord William Turner, and Eugène Delacroix, have been loaned or gifted to the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C, Brooklyn Museum and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. The present work was temporarily loaned to the Brooklyn Museum in 1969 by the estate of Florence E. Dickerman, Watson Dickerman’s second wife.
