	date: 1873
	footnotes: 	
			
			* <div><!--block-->1Additional details about Guénot are unknown, but he was likely Rothschild's agent given that the sale occurred in May of 1873 and Rothschild had the work in his possession by August of that same year, as indicated by the catalogue of the 1873 exhibition,"Ausstellung alter Gemälde aus Wiener privatbesitz," which took place in August/September.&nbsp; The pre-Le Roy provenance given in the Rochebousseau sale catalogue is incorrect.&nbsp; It is actually the provenance for van Ruisdael’s <em>Wooded Landscape with a Waterfall and a Church on the Hill </em>(Slive catalogue raisonné, no. 298).&nbsp; This provenance is as follows: Van Slengelandt [sic], 1785; Prince de Talleyrand, 1817; MM. Gray and Allnutt; Comte du Pourtalès, 1826; M. Thomas Emmerson and M. Smith.&nbsp; The Rochebousseau catalogue erroneously attached this provenance to CMA painting likely because the two paintings have similar descriptions. &nbsp;</div>
