Madame de L. de L., Paris; (her sale, Théodore Fischer, Lucerne [with A. Mak, Amsterdam], 27 July 1926, no. 139, as Nicolas Kirberger).[1] Otto B. Schuster, Amsterdam; (sale, Sotheby's, London, 15 July 1931, no. 109, as Master N.K.); Means. Mrs. Jacob H. Schiff; (her sale, American Art Association-Anderson Galleries, New York, 7-9 December 1933, no. 77, as Hans Kirberger [?], bought in [?]).[2] (Dr. Siegfried F. Aram, New York);[3] sold to Mrs. Ralph Harman Booth [Mary Batterman Booth, d. 1951], Grosse Pointe, Michigan, by 1938; gift 1947 to NGA. [1] It has not been possible to verify the earliest, apparently traditional portion of the provenance which puts the picture first in the possession of a Baron Rechberg, Hohenlöwen, then with a Count von Leutzner. These names may have been derived from the coat-of-arms on the seal on the reverse of the panel, and appear in the Curatorial Records Provenance card file. The arms on the seal are unidentified; Walter Angst, letter to John Hand of 27 May 1989, in curatorial files, states it is not Rechberg or Leutzner, although it could be a collector's seal. [2] Handwritten annotation, probably by Fern Rusk Shapley, of "no buyer" on the card for this sale in the NGA curatorial records provenance card file. [3] Siegfried F. Aram (b. 1891), a German lawyer-turned-art collector and dealer, left Nazi Germany in 1934 and established a gallery on 57th Street in New York in 1935.
