At age 75, Eisenmann was arrested and sent to the Theriesenstandt Ghetto in September 1942 and eventually killed at the Treblinka concentration camp. Her estate was later seized and auctioned off. After the war, in 1949, the Cranach painting resurfaced in a Sotheby’s sale in London, where it had been consigned by dealer Hans W. Lange, the head of an eponymous auction house known for forced sales of Jewish-owned property. It sold for £700. Later, it passed through the hands of New York dealers Hugo Perls and the Knoedler gallery before Thaw bought it around 1968. (English)
