Provenance

• Before 1890: Charles Augustus Howell (1840?-1890) ;
• 1890: sold after his death, Christie's, London, 13 November 1890 (436) as 'A Symphony in Sand' for £6.16.6.

If this was indeed a painting by Whistler, it could have been acquired by Howell at the time of Whistler's bankruptcy or in the early 1880s.
