The Spanish news outlet El Mundo have published an article following the later and winding history of Renoir's The Cherry Hat. The picture was acquired by the Duchess of Alba in 1973 and was later divided amongst her children on her death in 2014 (rather than kept in the family's foundation). The picture has now turned up in a dealer's collection in the USA. Click on the link to read the full story.
