Notes
This investigation marks the work as not located in the D’Atri papers.
Published documentation for this file is thin. Catalogue numbers, exhibitions and bibliography are given only where the source recorded them.
This investigation records several published portraits of Baranowski. The same file notes that this work cannot be Pfannstiel no. 215, which is signed and matches the de Young Museum painting.
Inclusion in the MR / Wildenstein Institute catalogue is recorded only as published in the 2008 sale note, whether it appears in the published catalogue was not confirmed in this investigation.
This investigation marked several fields as still being checked. The facts above are those already published; where sources disagree, both readings are given.
