Possibly Alfred Flechtheim [1878-1937], Düsseldorf.[1] Professor Kreis, Düsseldorf, in 1913.[2] Paul Schüler [1876-1942] Bochum, Germany, by 1927 until c. 1929.[3] (Paul P. Rosenberg et Cie., Paris); sold 15 May 1930 to Chester Dale [1883-1962], New York; bequest 1963 to NGA.[1] Dale records give "Flechtheim, Dusseldorf" as part of provenance, but this was not included in the 1965 NGA catalogue of the Dale Collection. The Flechtheim gallery operated by Alfred Flechtheim [1878-1937] first opened in Düsseldorf and later in Berlin.[2] The painting was lent by Professor Kreis to a 1913 exhibition in Munich.[3] The invoice from Paul Rosenberg to Chester Dale incorrectly names the prior owner as Mr. Schubert, Bochum. Information regarding Paul Schüler's ownership was kindly provided by Stefan Koldehoff (copies in NGA curatorial files). The incorrect name on the Rosenberg invoice suggests that he did not acquire the painting directly from Schüler. (English)
