The Importance of Provenance History: James Elder Christie – “Suffer Little Children to Come unto Me” Part 2

 

 

 

An article about the painting, on page three of the North British Daily Mail, on Thursday the 18th of

November, 1897, confirms that Messrs. Van Baerle Bros. bought Suffer Little Children to Come unto

Me from James Elder Christie in 1896.

 

There was a short exhibition in Glasgow, then the owners sent it to a number of venues in Scotland and

England.
