Notes:

[1] The origins of this collection remain unclear. A Canadian customs stamp on the painting’s verso indicates that it passed through Montreal before arriving in New York, but it is not certain whether it belonged to a Czechoslovak citizen who was even residing in Canada.

[2] Confirmed in an email from Walter Feilchenfeldt AG on March 11, 2014. Rozendaal sold large parts of his collection in 1931 at auction, though not the Zaganelli painting. He either he kept the painting or sold it prior to 1931 (correspondence in curatorial files).

Provenance research is ongoing for this and many other items in the Eskenazi Museum of Art permanent collection. For more information about the provenance of this artwork, please contact the department curator with specific questions.
