Prince Bourbon Parma Schwarzau Austria. Oskar Bondy Vienna Austria. [Galerie Sanct Lucas Vienna Austria sold]; to Paul E. and Gabriele B. Geier Rome Italy 1953 bequest; to Harvard Art Museums 2012.
NOTES:
1. Provenance research continues for this object particularly since it was once in the Oskar Bondy collection which was confiscated in Vienna in 1938. The painting does not appear in the records of the Munich Central Collection Point from which many Bondy collection objects were shipped back to Austria and later returned by the Austrian government to the family. The painting was not included in the March 3 1949 Kende Gallery New York sale of restituted objects offered by Bondy’s widow Elizabeth Anna. Mrs. Bondy who died in 1974 also sold various works privately through Blumka Gallery and other dealers.
2. For the reference to the Prince Bourbon Parma collection see “The Fantastic Visions of Monsù Desiderio ” John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art Sarasota FL 1950.
