| Provenance and Comments: | This item was in a crate at the Jeu de Paume in 1941. Repatriation to France occurred in two parts: the painting proper was returned from Buxheim in 1945 while its frame was returned from Neuschwanstein on 14 November 1945. Restitution occurred on 11 July 1947. Of note is the fact that the French restitution records attribute this work to Tocqué Finally, the painting alone was restituted, not its frame. The French title to this painting was cited in the postwar release form produced by French restitution authorities. | ||||||||||||
