Georges Bénard was a banker and collector of Impressionist works.
citations: (Bénard sale, Hôtel Drouot, June 9, 1933 (no. 67), sold to G. Bernheim) date: 1933 footnotes: *
Vuillard's Under the Trees (CMA 1953.212) also appeared in the Bénard sale (no. 90).
citations: Probably Georges Bernheim, Paris, France date: 1933- footnotes: *
Guy-Patrice Dauberville believes that “G. Bernheim,” the buyer at the 1933 sale, refers to Georges Bernheim, an art dealer who operated a gallery separate from that of his cousin, Josse and Gaston Bernheim-Jeune.  Georges Bernheim’s gallery had closed by the early 1950s.  A sale of Bernheim’s collection on June 7, 1935 does not include the Cleveland picture.  It also does not appear among the list of works confiscated from Bernheim’s collection by the Einsatzstab Reichsleiter Rosenberg, although a list of works seized from his collection provided by Bernheim to French authorities in 1946 suggests a number of confiscated artworks were not recorded by the ERR.  The Cleveland picture has also not been located in any other databases or lists of confiscated works.   
citations: (Galerie Paul Guillaume, Paris, France) date: ? footnotes: *
The label for Galerie Paul Guillaume is present on the back of the painting.
