Consorts Schloss — Paris, France |
| Collection: |
(Schloss) Adolphe Schloss-The Schloss collection was assembled with great care by Adolphe Schloss, a German Jew who settled in Paris in the late 19th century. In August 1939, the collection was transferred to a vault at the Chateau de Chambon (Corrèze) for safekeeping. On April 16, 1943, a combination of Nazi policemen and French officials from the CGQJ worked together to confiscate the Schloss collection and transfer it to Paris for processing. There, the collection was split into three parts--the largest going to the Linz Museum project. That part of the collection (262 paintings) was transferred to the Führerbau (Munich) on 24 November 1943 where it remained untouched until 29-30 April 1945 when local Munich citizens broke into the building housing the collection and hundreds of other works and stole everything. Nearly half of the Schloss paintings are still unrestituted. |

| Provenance and Comments: |
The attribution of this painting changes depending on which sources one consults. A 1945 French inventory lists the painting as by Isaac van Ostade and Nicolas Molenaer. However, Captain Doubinsky of the MCCP lists the painting as a work by Isaac van Ostade. According to a note from Captain E. J. Doubinsky of the Munich Central Collecting Point, dated 13 July 1949, the Munich Criminal Police spent a long time investigating the whereabouts of this work. For some unknown reason, the painting does not appear to have a MCCP card. This work was restituted on December 6, 1949, and sold at auction at Galerie Charpentier as lot No. 40 on December 5, 1951. |
