Glaser Collection PROVENANCE: Christie's East, New York, May 5, 1998, lot 156 (as Attributed to Meissonier, Portrait of a judge); Acquired by the present owner from the above. In a letter to Glaser dated June 5, 1998, scholar Constance Cain Hungerford suggested a date of 1881-1882 for the execution of this work.
