A month after Roseman painted December Morning, the Chief Curator of the Museums of France, François Bergot, who praised the ''very beautiful landscape,'' acquired the painting for the Musée des Beaux-Arts, Rouen, of which he was the Director. Monsieur Bergot had previously acquired for the Rouen Museum, Roseman's work on the monastic life, including "two very beautiful drawings," and the portrait painting Dom Henry, 1978, of which the Chief Curator of the Museums of France also expressed in letter "my admiration for this work imbued with insight and spirituality.'' (Dom Henry is presented on the page "Correct Usage of the Word 'Monk.' ")
