Provenance
This watercolor by Pallière was the source for a print by an unknown engraver, engraved surface H. 12 in, W. 16 3/4 in., cited in Sellers. A sketch for it is owned by Yale University.

Sellers mentions a finished watercolor with this title listed as Lot 52 in sale catalogue number 30 from the print and fine arts gallery Godefroy Mayer (no date given). This may be that painting.
