Possibly with Alfred Flechtheim or the Galerie Flechtheim [see note 1]. 1935, possibly with Galerie Dr. Schumann, Frankfurt, 1935, possibly sold by Schumann to Christoph Ris (b. 1865 - d. 1947), Zurich, given to his sister, Elisabeth Ris (b. 1872 - d. 1959), Zurich, 1953, sold by Miss Ris to Dr. Hermann Ganz, Zurich [see note 2], January 1955, sold by Ganz to Roland, Browse and Delbanco, London, February 19, 1955, one-half share sold by Roland, Browse and Delbanco to Marlborough Fine Art, Ltd., London, April 8, 1957, remaining one-half share sold by Roland, Browse and Delbanco to Marlborough [see note 3], 1957, sold by Marlborough to the MFA. (Accession Date: January 10, 1957);NOTES;[1] "Flechtheim" appears to be written in pencil on the back of the painting stretcher. Whether it was actually owned by Alfred Flechtheim or the Galerie Flechtheim (which had galleries in Düsseldorf, Berlin, Cologne and Frankfurt) is not known.;[2] This information comes from a letter from Hermann Ganz to Thomas N. Maytham of the MFA (February 27, 1957), according to Dr. Ganz, Elisabeth Ris received the painting from her brother. He had purchased "some paintings" at the Galerie Schumann in 1935, but Miss Ris did not know if the Kirchner painting was among them. It was certainly in her possession by 1948, when she lent it to the Kunsthaus, Zurich ("Sammlung deutscher Expressionisten," August 20 - September 15, 1948, cat. no. 189, as "Liegende"). (English)
