Provenance
Acquired in 1939 from the art shop Emil Backhaus (1873-1955). Emil Backhaus had been working as an art and antiques dealer in Hanover since 1914 and moved into a residential and commercial building at Königstraße 12 in 1919. As a confidant of the customs investigation office, Backhaus checked Jewish removal goods with regard to cultural property and in some cases purchased goods himself that were excluded from being taken away. According to statements from the post-war period, from 1940 he maintained business relations in the occupied Netherlands, where his daughters moved in 1940, among others to the auction house van Marle & Bignell. From 1945, his business was under trustee administration because of his NSDAP membership.
