Notes:
[1] Other variations of his name are Clene, Clesnes, Clesnne, Claine, Claye, Clesne. He is called “Le chevalier de Cene” by Edmond de Goncourt and Jules de Goncourt, L’Art du Dix-Huitième Siècle, 3rd ed. (Paris: A. Quantin, 1880), 1:189. He is called “Cènes” by L[ouis] Soullié and Ch. Masson, Catalogue Raisonné de l’Œuvre Peint et Dessiné de François Boucher, in André Michel, François Boucher (Paris: L’Édition d’Art, [1906]), 13. We defer here to the version given in the Getty Provenance Index.
[2] Jean-Baptiste-Pierre Le Brun (1748–1813) was a collector and leading dealer to the elite of the ancien régime from 1776 to 1789. It is unclear if Le Brun personally owned the Boucher or if it was part of his dealership’s stock. It is possible that Le Brun sold the painting to Charles Alexandre de Calonne, the finance minister for Louis XVI. In fact, Le Brun’s wife was the artist Elisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun (1755–1842), who painted a portrait of Calonne (1784; Royal Collection Trust).
[3] According to the Getty Provenance Index, the painting was “sold or bought in” during this sale.
[4] On the copy of the 1841 sales catalogue held at the Getty Research Institute, Los Angeles, someone has added a handwritten identification of “M. G***” as “Goutte.” This is probably a misspelling of the “Goutt,” who was the former senior officer of the Treasury for the Armed Forces, as the sales catalogue specifies. Although no life dates have been found for Goutt, in 1824 he was petitioning the government of Charles X to pay him 50,000 francs in back compensation and salary for his service under Napoleon ten years before. See Le Constitutionnel (November 7, 1824), 2. He, or his family, was also living at 45 Neuve-Saint-Roch in 1841; see Annuaire Général du Commerce, Judiciaire, et Administratif de France te des Principales Villes du Monde (Paris: Firmin Didot Frères, 1840), 241. This address matches the one listed for him in the 1841 sales catalogue.
[5] According to the minutes of the 1841 sale, Hopilliard, who lived at no. 16, rue de Paradis-Poissonière, Paris, was the current owner. See “Vente de Curiosités et Tableaux, rue de Jeuneurs no. 16; Les 29, 30, et 31 mars et 1er, 2, et 3 avril 1841, Requête de Hopilliard 28,” “D48E3 35 BONNEFONS DE LAVIALLE Minutes et Dossiers 1808–1855,” Archives de Paris (thank you to Vincent Tuchais, Archives de Paris). It is unclear why Hopilliard’s collection was in a sale advertised as belonging to Goutt, although one theory is that Hopilliard was a dealer/auctioneer tasked with selling Goutt’s collection. In fact, a certain “Franҫois Hopilliard” is listed in the 1841 census of the Aisne region of France, where his occupation is commissaire-priseur (auctioneer). However, his residence is on “Suite de la Grande Rue, Sissonne” (not rue de Paradis-Poissonière, Paris). Two possibilities for this person are Jean Franҫois Antoine Hopilliard (b. ca. 1789, listed—32 years earlier—as a professional weaver in 1809), or his son, Gérard Victor Hypolite (b. 1813, Marchais, France). The cover page of the sale minutes says, “Hopilliard 28.” If 28 is his age, then Gérard Victor Hypolite would be the right fit.
[6] Thank you to Vincent Tuchais, Archives de Paris, who confirmed that Linzler purchased this Boucher for 110 francs and 50 centimes. Linzler also purchased the other Boucher at the sale (a landscape listed under no. 197).
[7] In his will, Reverend Edward Timson left his property, including art, to his wife, and after her death he stipulated that their son Henry would inherit the property. “Last Will and Testament Reverend Edward Timson, folder 5M62/13, p. 89,” Libraries and Archives, Hampshire County Council, UK.
[8] According to the 1930 Christie’s sales catalogue, the painting was acquired at “a country sale by a small dealer.” However, Florence Timson, the daughter of Major Henry Thomas Timson, consigned the painting to the 1930 Christie’s sale, and she is the direct descendant of the Edward Timson noted in the Christie’s catalogue as a prior owner of the painting. The “country sale” might have been the one of the family’s Tatchbury Mount estate and overseen by Major Henry Thomas Timson, where the painting was possibly bought-in: Appointments of the Mansion: Curtains, cork, carpets, mahogany, oak and painted bed room effects, gentlemen’s wardrobes, tallboy chest, bedsteads, couches, easy chairs, antique oak chairs, French salon chairs, cottage pianoforte, 18th century mahogany secretaire bookcase, marqueterie tables, coffers, writing tables, imposing oak cabinet, few marble statuettes, mirrors, bracket and mantel clocks, Dutch brass jardiniere, screens, ornaments, books, a reflex camera, sextant, surveyor’s glasses, coachhorns, fishing tackle, quantity of copper utensils, unique collection of pictures by or attributed to: Richard Ansdell, R.A., R.P. Bonnington, E.C. Barnes, Geo, Cole, T. Sydney Cooper, R.A., E.W. Cooke, R.A., Geo, Chambers, T. Creswick, R.A., F.F. Dicksee, R. Etty, R.A., W.P. Frith, R.A., F. Goodall, R.A., J.H.L. De Haas, E. Long, R.A., D.M. Macclise, R.A., P.R. Morris, A.R.A., W.Q. Orchardson, R.A., L.J. Potts, W. Parrott, J. Pettie, A.R.A., P.F. Poole, R.A., Clarkson Stanfield, R.A., Geo. Stanfield, F. Stone, R.A., R.M. Ward, A.R.A., and other eminient artists of repute; several interesting coloured prints of coursing and hounds, Tatchbury Mount, Totton, Southhampton: Wilson, September 27–28, 1927. The sales catalogue has not survived. It is possible that the Boucher was listed for sale but either purchased by Florence Timson or given to her by her father when it failed to sell.
[9] See email from Daniel Jarmai, archives researcher, Christie’s, to Glynnis Stevenson, NAMA, October 20, 2021, NAMA curatorial files.
[10] The painting is listed as “From the Collection of Edward Timson, Esq., England” in the 1930 catalogue. Constituent’s name is also erroneously written as “Tinson.”
[11] According to Harold Woodbury Parsons, art advisor to the NAMA trustees in the 1930s, the painting was purchased in a knock-out sale, where a ring of dealers agrees to purchase the painting at a low price and later a single dealer, in this case Howard Young, buys out the shares of the others. See letter from Harold Woodbury Parsons to J. C. Nichols, February 4, 1931, NAMA curatorial files.
NAMA trustees were considering the purchase of the painting as early as January 1931; see correspondence from Harold Woodbury Parsons to Arthur Hyde, January 24, 1931, NAMA curatorial files.
