There is no, or insufficient provenance information known about this object from the period 1933-1945. After investigation, no sources have been found to date that can provide information to complete its provenance in the period. Therefore, no conclusions can be made regarding possible suspicious provenance or involuntary loss of ownership.

The provenance of this watercolour is unclear. At present, there are no leads for conducting further research into the provenance of this object for the period from 1933 to 1945. It is unknown from whom, when, how, and under what circumstances the art dealer P.A. Scheen in The Hague acquired the watercolour. It is also unknown how, when and under what circumstances W.F. Goerz of Rijswijk (presumably the art dealer Goerz and Kayser, The Hague) acquired this object. At an unknown date, Goerz sold this painting to the Kunstsammlung der Stadt, Düsseldorf. W.F. Goerz was district leader (Kreisleiter) of the NSDAP in The Hague. There are indications that his partner, Kayser, traded Jewish property to the Germans/Wehrmacht. However, it is not clear whether this relates to works of art that Kayser traded through the art dealership Goerz and Kayser, or whether this piece was traded in that manner.
