Notes:
[1] In 1937, the Kunsthistoriches Museum deaccessioned 5 paintings to Kunsthandel P. de Boer, including this painting. Dr. Robert Herzig of the Galerie Sanct Lucas (Vienna) took custody of the paintings on behalf of P. de Boer Gallery.
[2] It is likely Billy Rose sold or traded the painting back to Silberman Galleries, from whom he had acquired it in 1940.
