Eighth in line of a succession of owners, the Art Gallery in Toronto, as it was then known, was bequeathed the 32" x 25*" oil painting by Ftank P. Wood (Toronto) in 19 55. Originally owned by Jan van Beuningen in Amsterdam in 1716, the portrait passed, in 1842, to Henri Le- bert in Alsace-Lorraine. From the Colmar Museum, Alsace- Lorraine, who owned the Port- rait of a Lady with a Lap Dog from 1842 until 1917, the paint- ing was acquired, in succes- sion, by Klas Fahraeus of Lid- ingon, Sweden, (1917); C. E. Fritze, an art dealer in Stock- holm, Sweden, in 1919, and then by New York dealers Hen- ry and Reinhardt & Son and M. Knoedler & Co. , before Frank P. Wood of Toronto bought her in 1919. The 'lady' has travelled thou- sands of miles in her lifetime. She has been seen in the Kaiser Friedrich Museum, _Berlin(1899)" The Mauritshuis, The Hague (1900); The Detroit Institute of Arts; Wildenstein Galleries, New York; the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Richmond; as well as in pu.blic .exhibition in To- ronto, Montreal, Hamilton and Vancouver. • . • 4 But who is Rembrandt's lady Her identity has never been es- tablished...The Art Gallery of Ontario's Portrait of .a Lady with, a Lap Dog is as much under dis- cussion this year, the 300th an- niversary of the great master's death, as 'is nearly every paint- ing attributed to him.
