[2] The Mogmar Art Foundation was a holding company for Otto H. Kahn’s collection after his death. When Kahn’s widow, Addie Wolff Kahn (d. 1949), sold the couple’s home on 1100 Fifth Avenue in May 1934, several dealers agreed to store the collection for safekeeping. This object was removed from the Kahn home on May 24, 1934 and sent to Duveen Brothers, New York, at which time it was inventoried as O.K. 52 and MAF 126. It remained with Duveen until it was delivered to Addie Kahn’s new home at 720 Fifth Avenue on October 23, 1939.
