Description

Monogrammed in the image at centre right: LG (ligatured); inscribed below the image at lower left: 29 Nov. 1838 ad viv. Cassel.

Provenance

26.06.1942 purchased from the art antiquarian Reinhold Puppel, formerly Hollstein & Puppel, Berlin; the art antiquarian was Aryanised in 1936 by the part-owner Puppel. Hollstein, who was Jewish and married and had been banned from the profession, emigrated to Holland in 1937; the sheet was purchased after the Aryanisation of the art shop. It is not known when and from whom the art shop acquired it. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that the print belongs to the old stock of Hollstein & Puppel.
