1Richard Semmel Switzerland & Holland • by 1933/37 Wildenstein (2001), no. 127; Collection d'un amateur, Tableaux modernes de l'école française des XIXe et XXe siècles, (sale cat.) Frederik Muller, Amsterdam (13 June 1933), no. 15 (bought in); Tableaux anciens […] & tableaux modernes […] provenant des collections de feu M. Paul Chavan, Genève et de divers amateurs genevois, (sale cat.) Galerie Max Moos, Geneva (20 March 1937), no. 63. The Wildenstein catalogue tentatively identifies as a previous owner of the painting Eduard Simon-Wolfskehl, Frankfurt (M.), based upon an erroneous reading of Peter Kropmanns, Gauguin und die Schule von Pont-Aven im Deutschland nach der Jahrhundertwende, Sigmaringen 1997, pp. 52, 67, n. 160, and an equally erroneous identification of the painting with a painting lent by Simon-Wolfskehl to an exhibition in Frankfurt in 1912, Die Klassische Malerei Frankreichs im 19. Jahrhundert, Kunstverein Frankfurt/M. 1912, no. 53. Whilst no identification of La Route montante with the painting in the Simon-Wolfskehl collection is suggested by Kropmanns, the painting lent to the 1912 exhibition was in fact Wildenstein (1964) no. 526.
