The article states, "Then, in 1890, Sophia and Cornelius Vanderbilt were on a trip to Europe, and in them, the young Earl soon found a home for his father's Turners." Yet the Commodore died in 1877, and his first wife Sophia died some time before that. It is possible that Cornelius Vanderbilt II and his wife/my cousin Alice Gwynne Vanderbilt acquired it in 1890, but my understanding it that the watercolor descended in the family of his brother George W. Vanderbilt II of Biltmore.
