Les Noces de Pierrette

[1] Around 1930, Georges Renand, owner of La Samaritaine department store, purchased the work.

[2] The painting was owned by the Swedish investment banker and merchant Fredrik Roos when it was sold at Binoche et Godeau in Paris on November 30, 1989.

Hazama, having run into financial difficulties, put the painting up as collateral when the firm took a loan from Lake Credit Company.

When Lake Credit Company sold its stake in the mainline consumer loan business to GE Capital, Les Noces de Pierrette (along with 500 other paintings worth approximately $200 million) became the property of GE Capital.

The Japanese operation of GE Capital was subsequently sold to Shinsei Bank in 2008, along with its art collection portfolio.
