      18 January 2025
      Since 2016, the Braunschweig Landesmuseum, the Herzog Anton Ulrich Museum and the Städtisches Museum Braunschweig have been jointly examining selected collection holdings for Nazi looted cultural property in a DZK-funded project named 'Collecting in Braunschweig: Provenance and Looted Art since 1933'. Subjects of common interest that have arisen include the development and collection of Josef Haubrich in Cologne, the reconstruction of the collection of Max Hahn of Goettingen, provenance research in the collection of the former antique dealer Huelsmann of Hamburg /Bielefeld. The involvement of the Munich auction house Adolf Weinmüller with Mühlmann in The Hague and Vienna are of interest in and beyond Braunschweig. (English)
      In 1934 Littmann committed suicide. In February 1935 his widow put the collection up for auction through the dealer Max Perl, Berlin. But two days before the auction sixty-four Littmann works were confiscated by the Gestapo, including this painting by Mueller, which was among the few works chosen by Eberhard Hanfstaengl, director of the Nationalgalerie, when he was asked to choose those with "sale value". Most of the others, if not all, are believed to have been burnt. In 1937 the painting was confiscated from the Nationalgalerie as "degenerate art" and displayed at the eponymous Munich exhibition that same year. In 1939 it was put up for sale in the auction of 'Paintings and Sculpture by Modern Masters from German Museums' at the Fischer Gallery in Lucerne, Switzerland. Unsold, it was returned to Germany, where the art dealer Hildebrand Gurlitt purchased it for $100, selling it to Josef Haubrich two years later. Before being alerted to its real provenance in 1998, the Museum Ludwig states it had no reason to suspect the painting's history as it was registered as originating from the Nationalgalerie, Berlin.
