Sadly, he has no documentation from the 1960s so there =sn't proof. However, with the information provided by the =reek and Roman department at the MET, we have enough provenance to be =ble include the two boys as well as the Herakles in a future sale, as =he curator listed them both in an inventory from the early 1990s. =o, if and when Mr. Epstein wants to test the auction market, we are =ood to go.
