    Before 1940-before 1952 Paul Eluard [1895-1952], Paris 1by 1952 Bernard Poissonnier, Paris 2 Until 1981 (E. V. Thaw, New York, sold to the Cleveland Museum of Art)1984-The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, Ohio. PROVENANCE FOOTNOTES1 In a handwritten statement that was supplied with the painting upon its sale by E.V Thaw to CMA, Bernard Poissonnier said that he acquired the painting from Paul Eluard. Eluard’s daughter, Cécile, confirmed that her father owned the painting “avant la guerre,” meaning prior to May 1940. While Eluard was likely the painting’s first owner, with neither a firm attribution nor date of execution, Eluard’s years of ownership are difficult to establish. It was previously thought that Eluard exhibited the painting at the Musée du Jeu de Paume in 1937. However, there is no evidence that this exhibition ever took place. (English)
