Note I: On August 10, 1885 Durand-Ruel bought eight pictures from the artist. ‘A Seated Woman’ is probably the painting of the same title, which Durand-Ruel purchased for 600 francs (Paysanne Assise, stock no.723). In 1891 Durand-Ruel reorganized his holdings of impressionist paintings, which accounts for the later discrepancy in stock no. (1807) (Per House, 1986)
