Object history Given by the artist to Charles Collins, New York state;[1] by descent in the Collins family to Virginia Collins Cronister [Mrs. Hugh M. Cronister], Cambridge, Vermont;[2] (sale, Sotheby Parke Bernet, New York, 23 April 1981, no. 50, bought in); (Nicholas Hubby, Boston); Richard A.

  1. ↑ This provenance was given for the painting in the 1981 sale catalogue. However, The New York Times of 26 February 1871, reporting on the exhibition and sale at the Somerville Gallery on 23 February, lists a painting by Winslow Homer titled "Dinner Horn" as having sold for $150 to an unnamed buyer. This was probably the National Gallery painting, and Charles Collins was possibly the buyer.
  2. ↑ The provenance for the painting given in Lloyd Goodrich, edited and expanded by Abigail Booth Gerdts, Record of Works by Winslow Homer, New York, 2005: 2:no. 368, details the Collins family members who owned the painting: Charles Collins' niece, Mrs. Maria Collins Barton, Summit, New Jersey; her niece, Mrs. Sarah Louise Collins Davis, Florida, by 1974; her niece, Mrs. Cronister, by 1980.
