How does The Chess Players (Daumier) elucidate its Provenance?
The painting was in the private collection of Eugène Jacquette, in Paris, until 1899. The same year, the painting was donated to the Museum of Fine Arts of the city of Paris, located in the Petit Palais, where it still hangs. The picture has repeatedly represented the artist's work at foreign exhibitions.
