A description of the painting’s history prior to being sold at James D. Julia Auctions appeared in the October 1990 issue of the Maine Antiques Digest. After the death of Mrs. Leila Banks, the painting was to be sold by F.O. Bailey Co. in June 1976. The night before the auction it was stolen, only to be discovered two years later in a Parke-Bernet sale catalogue by the editor of Maine Antiques Digest, Sam Pennington. Minor paint loss below the dog helped to identify the painting and return it to its rightful owners. Please note: Accompanied by a conservation report from Fred Koszewnik, Marlton, New Jersey, December 17, 1990. Please see Kenoauctions.com for more information about this lot.
