Artwork history & notes

Provenance

Rudolf Gutmann [1880-1966], Vienna (Lugt 2770) [1]; purchased by Lessing J. Rosenwald [1891-1979], 1929; gift to NGA, 1943.
[1] Although Rudolph Gutmann’s collection was seized in 1938 and restituted to him almost in its entirety, this particular work does not seem to appear in the catalogue of the seized collection or among the seizure cards created for the Zentraldepot, Vienna. This print might have entered the market before 1938.
