I just tried to work on the Dughet Landscape with Arch, IRN 1012194, and I know it is going to come out wacky because it is one of the ones that Costas wrote, but it seems to have parsed out a blank "unknown party"...it comes out as the third party in the record whenever you pull it up. Here's the wall 'o text:

(Did not sell, according to Marie-Nicole Boisclair's "Gaspard Dughet, Sa vie et son oeuvre", Paris, 1987, no. 349, p. 277; also The Getty Provenance Index shows that the work was bought in for 39Gs; the 1889 catalogue of the Earl of Northbrook collection lists a price in pounds, £40, 19s., for this sale.);

It is listed as being on panel but when lent by Mr. Baring to the 1872 Royal Academy Winter exhibition as no. 102, "Landscape and Figures", it is listed as on canvas);

This might be one of those "have to live with it" things, but hey, it's here.
