Provenance and Comments: According to Mr. Jacobson's widow, he had placed this and two other paintings in a safe-deposit box on 15 July 1939, the contents of which were eventually seized by the ERR. However, Dr. Schiedlausky's inventory points to the presence of this painting at the Chateau de Chambord at the time of its removal.
