Provenance

Eduard Friedrich Weber [1830 - 1907], Hamburg (Lugt 913); Alfred Morrison [1821-1897], London and Fonthill (Lugt 151); Rudolf Gutmann [1880-1966], Vienna (Lugt 2770) [1]; (Kennedy and Co., New York, NY); 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 entered the market before 1938.
