[2] This object was sold in 1942 with the Gutmann collection of 225 silver, jewelry and Renaissance objects to the dealers Karl Haberstock and Julius Boehler [See papers of Haberstock Gallery, National Archives RG 260/Box 446, copies NGA curatorial records]. After the war the Gutmann heirs filed a claim for the return of the collection, which was recovered in Starnberg, Germany, and sent to the Munich Central Collecting Point. This sculpture was restituted to the Dutch government with others from the Gutmann collection on 8 July 1946. [See Dutch claim #N-3, National Archives RG 260/747; see also Munich property card #16395/33 and Dutch Receipt for Cultural Objects no. 15A, item no. 110, National Archives RG 260/288, copies NGA curatorial records.].
