NOTES:
[1] Galerie Almas, operated by Maria Dietrich and her daughter Mimi tho Rahde, traded in Nazi-expropriated artworks during the Second World War. It is currently unknown when and how Galerie Almas acquired this sculpture. Since its provenance during the Nazi era is undetermined, the Nelson-Atkins continues to research this object and welcomes the contributions of outside researchers who may be able to add to our understanding of its history.
