| Provenance and Comments: | This painting is labeled as a Picasso but it is not a Picasso. Instead, it is a drawing by Walter Spies entitled "Dessin balinais." It is labeled as Watson 16, as confirmed by Peter Watson's restitution file. Therefore, the ERR card is wrong as well. Slated for transport to Nikolsburg on 1 August 1944. However, the train never left Paris | ||||||||||||||||
