Provenance

Whereabouts unknown

n.d. - 1952, private property

1952, Max Kaganovitch (*1891, +1978) (intermediary), Paris

from 1952, Zürcher Kunstgesellschaft | Kunsthaus Zürich (Museum), Zurich

The provenance between 1933 and 1945 has not been clearly clarified or has gaps. No evidence of Nazi-looted art has emerged from the available research. However, there are indications of Nazi-looted art and/or conspicuous accompanying circumstances. The provenance must be investigated further.
