Specialist note

"Peggy had always liked Boudin, perhaps in part because her mother's great friend, Mrs. Robert Fowler, had two or three of them in her house in Katonah, New York, where Peggy grew up. Peggy's mother subsequently bought one as well so we had a sentimental attachment to Boudin's work. Thus when this painting became available through the Durand-Ruel Gallery in New York, Peggy was immediately drawn to it and we bought it. It hangs today in the entrance hall at 65th Street." —David Rockefeller
