Notes:
The main source for this provenance is Bloch's catalogue raisonné, the 1986 edition, cat. no. 385 [Bloch, E. Maurice. "The Paintings of George Caleb Bingham: A Catalogue Raisonné." Columbia, MO, University of Missouri Press, 1986]. Exceptions and other supporting documents are noted.
[1] Bloch suggested the painting was probably the one raffled off at Mr. Wooll's picture frame store, St. Louis, MO, in September, 1846, to an undisclosed buyer. Bloch cites a newspaper article with a description of the painting to be raffled, which matches the view in "Landscape with Cattle." ["For Raffle-Beautiful Landscape." "Saint Louis Weekly Reveille." vol. 3 (September 28, 1846): 1012].
[2] It is possible that Elizabeth Harrington Cutter Krum (wife of Chester Harding Krum (1840-1923), the grandson of the artist Chester Harding) or her family acquired the painting at raffle in 1846.
