This painting formerly belonged to a Jewish banker who was shot by the Nazis in Dusseldorf in 1937. In 1939, his children escaped to England and his wife fled to Belgium. In hiding in Brussels during World War II, she was obliged to sell this and other paintings in order to survive. In 1944 she was taken to a concentration camp at Malines. After liberation she was able to join her remaining family in Britain in 1946. The painting was given to the Tate Gallery by the Friends of the Tate in 1961. It had been bought in good faith in 1955 at auction in Cologne by the English dealers Roland Browse and Delbanco, who six years later sold it to the Friends of the Tate. Recently, it was recognised by surviving members of the banker’s family, who made a formal claim for compensation in 1999.
