Provenance and Comments: Confiscated from Maurice de Rothschild depot of Bedel & Cie., 194, rue de Championnet, Paris. There is contradictory information regarding the repatriation of this painting to France. According to annotations on the ERR inventory, R 1541 was repatriated to France on 7 January 1947. According to information at the Munich Central Collecting Point (MCCP), R 1541 was transferred in June 1949 by the MFA&A to the Minister-President of Bavaria, pending further investigation as to the origin of the painting, despite the fact that it is clearly marked as an ERR seizure from the collection of Maurice de Rothschild. An exit date of 1 February 1961 is listed in the MCCP database with no further explanation. Until additional information is forthcoming, this painting cannot be marked as having been restituted.
