Note on the provenance
This pair of portraits was formerly in the celebrated collection of Rodolphe Kann (1854-1905) in Paris. He amassed one of the great private collections of the late 19th century which was housed in his grand residence on the Avenue d’Iéna. Following his death, the entire collection was purchased en bloc from his heirs in August 1907 by the renowned firm Duveen Brothers, who left the collection in situ and opened up the house to important clients. The enormous purchase price of nearly £900,000 (almost $5,000,000 according to the New York Times) sent shock waves through the art world.1 Many of the important works, such as Rembrandt’s Aristotle Contemplating the Bust of Homer (Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, Acc. No. 61.198), found their way into American collections and ultimately into American museums.
