The provenance research shows that painting belonged to Mr I.H. Leefsma (1879-1943) of Amsterdam, and that it and 64 other objects were handed in without his permission to the city’s ‘robber bank’, Lippmann, Rosenthal & Co. (Liro), in 1942 by a member of the Dutch Nazi movement who had been appointed the administrator of Leefsma’s company on 8 December 1941. The Liro then sold the picture to the Dienststelle Mühlmann, a department that answered directly to Seyss-Inquart, the Nazi Reichskommisar of the Netherlands. The art historian Eduard Plietzsch, a freelance assistant at the Dienststelle Mühlmann, offered to sell the painting and three drawings (two by Bauer and one by Breitner, all three with different provenances) in a letter of 7 July 1943 to Dr D. Hannema, director of Museum Boijmans. He accepted the offer and bought all four works.Leefsma and his wife died in March 1943 in Sobibor concentration camp. (English)

Selling art to the occupiers was strictly illegal under Dutch law, but Mr. Hannema agreed to assess the value of the works for the Nazis, and the three works ended up with Hitler and Goering. After the war, he was imprisoned for eight months on charges related to collaboration, but the charges were later dropped. (English)
