Dr. Munniks (Munnicks?) van Cleef, Utrecht, The Netherlands, until 1864. {1} Possibly (Julius Böhler, Munich) by 1934. {2} (Dr. Burg, Haarlem) by 1936. {3} Mr. and Mrs. Reifenberg (Reiffenberg?), Cologne and Rye, New York. {4} (M. Knoedler & Co., New York) by 1945; {5} Mrs. James W. Fesler, Indianapolis, in 1945; Given to the John Herron Art Institute, now the Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields, in 1945 (45.9). ------- {1} Sold as lot no, 50 at Hôtel Drouot, Paris, Tableaux Anciens, April 4-5, 1864 to an unknown buyer. The consignor was "Docteur van Cleef." {2} This information is from Lucius Grisebach's catalogue raisonné, Willem Kalf, 1619-1693, Berlin 1974, catalgoue no. 135 (illustrated) but is not corroborated by materials found in IMA archives, historical files or by information on the verso of the painting, stretcher or frame. {3} The art dealer Dr. H. Burg is given as the owner in the exhibition catalogue for Tentoonstelling van oude kunst uit het bezit van den internationalen Handel, Rijksmuseum Amsterdam 1936, catalogue no. 85. A label from this exhibition appears on the stretcher, with the name "Dr. E. Burg, Haarlem." {4} The Reif(f)enberg provenance is given in Grisebach, and is confirmed in an undated letter from the dealer Paul Drey, New York, to museum director Wilbur Peat: "The Reifenbergs were not really collectors but owned a few objects and paintings, all of quality and fine taste. They acquired the Kalf from the German art trade;" see IMA Historical File (45.9). {5} Copy of bill of sale to Mrs. James W. Fesler, Indianapolis, on M. Knoedler & Co, New York letterhead, dated 15 February 1945, see IMA Historical File (45.9).
