| Provenance and Comments: | Confiscated from Maurice de Rothschild depot of Bedel & Cie., 194, rue de Championnet, Paris. According to written observations made by Rose Valland, she spotted this painting with the stamp R 2251 on its back. However, it and many other objects in the Rothschild collection were renumbered and reinventoried i 1942. If Rose Valland did not find any evidence of it being crated at the Jeu de Paume, it might be because this painting by Coypel had been set aside for Hermann Goering. Valland even went to Dr. Borchers to discuss this matter, suspecting some underhanded move by Dr. Lohse. [Rose Valland note, 14 April 1943] The painting was eventually deposited at the Louvre after being transferred to French museum officials by Dr. Bunjes, head of the German Art Historical Institute in Paris, in March 1944. | ||||||||||||||||
