The HCPO provided the Museum with information and documentation showing that the Nazis looted the drawing from Dr. Feldmann in 1939. Acknowledging that Dr. Feldmann lost possession of the drawing due to Nazi persecution, the Museum agreed that it should be returned to his heirs as its rightful owner. The Museum received the drawing as a bequest from Mr. Sperling in 1975 and was unaware of its connection to Dr. Feldmann or that it was looted during the Holocaust. Mr. Sperling acquired the drawing from P. and D. Colnaghi and Co., Ltd. in London in 1954. (English)
