Research undertaken by the Art Loss Register has concluded: ‘In summary the Williams
article [cited below] does not appear to be referring to the version of the subject currently
housed in the Harvard Art Museum. This leaves little definitive information about the
whereabouts of the painting prior to it being gifted to the Museum in 1959.’ (Letter on file

(1)     Provenance as published in Sarasota, Fort Worth, Omaha, Nashville and Charlotte
2004-6, no. 22, pp. 82-3.
(2)     The name ‘Rosenbaum, Berlin’ appears in the provenance supplied to the Wadworth
Atheneum by the seller of the painting, the Schoenemann Galleries, in 1947. It is possible –
although not confirmed – that ‘Rosenbaum’ is a certain Isaak Rosenbaum, a Jewish dealer,
whose stock may have been looted (see, for example,
http://www.restitutiecommissie.nl/en/rc_1.14/1.20/advies_rc_1.14/1.20.html and
http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,,4300228,00.html). There are, however, no current
claims against the painting. Moreover it seems likely that Mr and Mrs Hugo Moser acquired
the painting in Berlin in or around April 1929, as their New York sale catalogue of 1946
states that they had formed their collection between 1920 and 1929, when Mr Moser was
agent for the former Emperor Wilhelm II of Germany. Voss supplied a certificate for the
painting on the 3 April 1929 in Berlin, which is generally an indication that the painting was
being marketed for sale. It is possible that the Rosenbaum of Berlin, who appears in the
documents, commissioned the certificate from Voss and then sold the painting to Moser,
which would explain how the certificate came to be sold with the painting at their sale in
1946. We would like to thank Eric Zafran of the Wadsworth Atheneum and Charles
Beddington for their help in researching the provenance of this painting.

Note that this painting has incomplete provenance information for the years 1933-1945. It
was searched on the Art Loss Register and is not registered as being stolen or missing.
