| Provenance and Comments: | This object was set aside for Hermann Goering in the first half of 1941. The frame was repatriated from Munich on 27 March 1946 while the painting was repatriated from H G. on 27 March 1946. This item was repatriated erroneously to Yugoslavia. There is no information as to whether it was ever repatriated to France for restitution to the Rothschild family. This painting was seized in Arcachon in one of two crates deposited by Baron Philippe de Rothschild at the Société Générale d'Arcachon on 1 June 1940. The Vichy government sequestered his property and an initial inventory was taken on 22 November 1940. Thereupon, the German authorities asserted their privilege over the Rothschild property and ordered its removal which occurred on 24 February 1941. Mr. Braumuller of the ERR presided over the transfer of the Rothschild property to Paris. | ||||||||
