Description
Shows the bust of a man who could be mistaken for an old farmer in Sunday best. His face appears to have been tanned by the wind and weather. He was wearing a jacket, probably a blue one (remembered by Meta Cohn's daughter), and a hat with a wide brim and a pipe in his mouth (remembered by Meta Cohn's daughter). The picture was in dark colours.
Provenance
after 1918 Simon Cohn (1873-1936), Berlin; since 1936 Meta Cohn, née Löwenthal (1886-1942), Berlin; confiscated by the Nazis around 1942, probably by the Gestapo one day after Meta Cohn's deportation to Riga on 15 August 1942 from her flat; since then whereabouts unknown
