Research findings

This painting was part of a collection belonging to Bernhard Albert Mayer of Mainz, who may have been forced by political circumstances in Germany to sell his collection.

On 25 June 1934, Paul Graupe auction house sold the painting collection of Bernhard Albert Mayer of Mainz. This may have been Dr Bernhard Albert Mayer (1866-1947), a Jewish jeweller who lived in Mainz and served as president of the Jewish community from 1908 to 1941. He emigrated to Argentina in 1941.
