The sitter's son, Carlile Pollock [1791-1845], New Orleans; his daughter, Marie Louise Pollock Chiapella [1828-1902]; possibly to her son, Henry Chiapella [1849-c. 1908]; his niece, Louise Chiapella Formento, New Orleans; sold between 1915 and 1917 to Isaac Monroe Cline [1861-1955], New Orleans;[1] purchased 16 January 1918 by Thomas B. Clarke [1848-1931], New York;[2] his estate; sold as part of the Clarke collection on 29 January 1936, through (M. Knoedler & Co., New York), to The A.W. Mellon Education and Charitable Trust, Pittsburgh; gift 1942 to NGA. [1] The provenance for this painting is the same as for Stuart's Yates portraits [NGA 1940.1.4, 1940.1.5, and 1942.8.29], except for the date of Cline's purchase. Cline bought this portrait and that of Mrs. George Pollock (1942.8.19) after 19 April 1915, when he wrote to Charles Henry Hart in Philadelphia that he only owned three portraits of members of the Yates/Pollock families. He owned them by 12 December 1917, when he wrote New York dealer Robert Macbeth that he owned the five Gilbert Stuart portraits of members of the Pollock and Yates families that were mentioned by Dunlap (General Correspondence, MAcbeth Gallery Papers, Archives of American Art, Washington, D.C.). [2] The name of the seller and the date of purchase are recorded in a copy of _Portraits by Early American Painters of the Seventeenth, Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries Collected by Thomas B. Clarke_, Exh. cat., Philadelphia Museum of Art, 1928, annotated with information from files of M. Knoedler & Co., NY (copy in NGA curatorial records and in NGA library). Clarke sent Clarence J. Dearden of Art House, Inc., to New Orleans to negotiate the purchase of the portraits; Dearden confirmed the purchase in a telegram to Clarke, 16 January 1918 (NGA curatorial file for 1940.1.4, _Mrs. Richard Yates_).
