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 object is not known before it came into possesion of art dealer Katz, Dieren. It was sold through art dealer Miedl to the chancellery in Berlin. The Restitution Commitee has researched the transactions from art dealer Katz with Miedl and has concluded there is no evidence to suggest this was involuntary.
