Research findings

The identity of the person abbreviated as Pl. who consigned this painting to Mandelbaum & Kronthal auction house is no longer known.

This painting was sold at Mandelbaum & Kronthal auction house in Berlin in November 1935. The auctioneers were a continuation of Internationale Kunst- und Auktionshaus which had been taken over in July 1935 in accordance with Germany's race laws. Dr Ernst Mandelbaum and Peter Paul Kronthal ran the auction house thereafter. The person who consigned this painting (along with 12 others) is abbreviated as Pl. It is unclear who this is (Angelika Enderlein, Der Berliner Kunsthandel in der Weimarer Republik und im NS-Staat, Akademie Verlag Berlin 2006).
