Provenance
Acquired from Gallery One, London in 1962 by Mr. Adler an American journalist working with the BBC. The strong mother symbolism of the painting was very meaningful for the Adler family -- they bought this painting just as they were growing their family and at a time when parenthood became even more clear and personal for them. This was the first painting acquired by the family. Thence by descent
