[2] This object appears to have been part of the Vienna collection of Alphonse de Rothschild which was confiscated by the Nazis in 1938 and stored at the Kunsthistoriches Museum in Vienna. Its location was published in 1942 as the storeroom of the Kunsthistoriches Museum by Leo Planiscig, Desiderio da Settignano, Vienna, 1942: 22. It was returned to the Rothschilds by 1951 when it was acquired by the Kress Foundation from the Baroness de Rothschild; see Kress files in NGA curatorial records.
