Provenance
Offered for sale by the aryanized art dealer Goudstikker (Miedl) (BArch, B 323, 74, p. 19).
Presumably temporarily stored until February 1945 in the depot of the Berliner Bank E.F. Meyer on behalf of the aryanized art dealer Goudstikker (Miedl) (BArch, B 323, 74, p. 19; ibid., 458, without pagination, no. 503-504, no. 523-525, no. 709, no. 751-753; AAM Guide to Provenance Research, Washington 2001, p. 266).
Probably remained in the bank depository until the end of the war (ibid.) and from there, in the course of the opening of bank vaults by the vault administration in the early 1950s, was transferred to the vault administration of the Ministry of Finance of the GDR.
In June 1953, the vault administration of the Ministry of Finance of the GDR transferred the vaults to the Gemäldegalerie/Nationalgalerie Berlin; in October 1959, the vaults were transferred from there to the Dresden State Art Collections.
