Research findings
No information is available about when Jewish art dealer Arthur Goldschmidt acquired this painting or the previous owner.
In 1936, this painting was owned by Arthur Goldschmidt, a Jewish art dealer who had fled from Germany. His name is linked to Karl Haberstock and Hans Wendland, who bought and sold stolen art. Goldschmidt settled in Paris in 1936 at Place Vendôme with Paul Graupe, another German art dealer. When the Germans occupied Paris in 1940, their collection was impounded and Goldschmidt was imprisoned. Six months later he was released. He fled via Spain to Havana, Cuba, where he reestablished himself as an art dealer.
