According to court documents, the work was seized by the Vichy government while Mr. Bauer was held at Drancy. Sold by the Vichy art dealer Jean-François Lefranc, it then passed to a number of buyers including a collector who sold it at Sotheby’s to an anonymous buyer in 1966. (English)

When we consider the 1930 exhibition catalogue, there appears to be a mistake in placing the entries that read “Mme. Desché” and “Georges Bernheim” after “Simon Bauer.” The 1930 catalogue clearly demonstrates the painting as in the collection of Simon Bauer. Therefore, it either changed hands back to Simon Bauer between 1927 and 1930 or it was never sold to Georges Bernheim in the first place. This argument is furthered by the 1939 catalogue raisonné (Figure 1) which acknowledges the 1927 Hôtel Drouot sale, but makes no mention of either “Mme. Desché” or “Georges Bernheim” in the provenance. The only figures who appear in the provenance are Paul Rosenberg and Simon Bauer. The “Mme. Desché” and “Georges Bernheim” entries are unique to Christie’s provenance. (English)
