by 1807: Jean-Baptiste-Pierre Le Brun (art dealer), Paris between 20 March 1810 and 24 March 1810: sale of the collection of J.B.P. Lebrun at Lebrun, Paris, lot no. 57, withdrawn (as ‘Un grand Buste d'homme à cheveux et barbe courte, sur toile’) 28 April 1819: anonymous sale at Jran-Louis Laneuville, Paris (auction house), lot no. 64, unsold (as ‘Par le même [= Reimbrand]. Un autre portrait d’homme, vu également de trois quarts, vêtu d’une veste brune et ayant un manchon. Ce portrait est également de la belle manière de Reimbrand; il est plein de vigueur et d'expression. Il est gravé dans le Recueil de la vente de feu Le Brun, en 1809, H. 29, l. 25. T.’) 23 April 1832: sale of the collection of Erard at Thomas Henry, Paris, lot no. 120, for 1,400 (as ‘Portrait d'Homme. Toile; hauteur vingt-neuf pouces, largeur vingt-quatre pouces trois lignes. cette tête sur laquelle ne tombe que peu de jour, et qu'environnent de grandes ombres, n'a point ce brillant qui fait une vive impression sur la vue. Mais elle est remarquable par cette profondeur, cette fusion de teintes harmonieuses et transparentes par cette magie, pour m'exprimer suivant l'usage, que le célèbre Rembrandt découvrit le premier dans les couleurs de sa palette, et qui est encore un secret pour beaucoup de peintres d'un grand mérite. Ajoutons à cette qualité une exécutions large, un modelé savant, et nous n'aurons rien dit de trop à l'éloge de ce portrait. On croit que c'est celui du père de Rembrandt. Sa tête est nue, son visage, vu trois quarts, est caractérisé par des traits fortements prononcées, son expression, d'accord avec de son vêtement, indique un homme du commun.’) between 21 May 1885 and 23 May 1885: purchased by Lesser (art dealer), London, at the sale of the collection of Collection Sir William Wellesley Knighton at Christie, London, lot no. 482, for £162.15s (as ‘Rembrandt. 482 Portrait of the Artist's Father; signed and dated; 31 in. by 26 in.’) by 1889: Sir John Charles Robinson (1824-1913), London by 1890: Agnew's, London 1890: acquired by Charles Sedelmeyer (art dealer), Paris |
