Provenance and Comments: The placement of this painting in a PHOTOS crate appears to be an error, but, for lack of any additional information to confirm or infirm this designation, we prefer to indicate it as such, based on the Jeu de Paume crate inventory. The MCCP database provides additional information on the crates in which this object was placed but nothing about PHOTOS 7. This object was in Room 56 at Nikolsburg, if we assume that it was in crate MA-B 91.
