Paul Cassirer's stockbook records the purchase of this canvas along with eight others in May 1905; see facsimile in Feilchenfeldt, p. 18. {3} Paul Cassirer's stockbook records the sale of this canvas to Mendelssohn in May 1905; photocopy courtesy of Walter Feilchenfeldt, Zürich, October 2003. {4} Eleonora emigrated to the United States in 1935 and became a citizen; Francesco emigrated in 1933; information provided in correspondence with Hans-Günter Klein, Mendelssohn-Archiv, Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin, May 2003. {5} Janet Briner of the Silva-Casa Foundation in Geneva, in a letter of 20 May 2004, confirms that this painting is listed as # 2054 in the Works of art on consignment index cards in the Archives Justin K. Thannhauser (owner: Francesco and Eleonora von Mendelssohn; their agent: Fredrick Kempner). {6} Many dealers in New York knew of this painting and the von Mendelssohns' interest in selling it. Kempner's correspondence with the von Mendelssohns between June 1942 and June 1943 confirms that the painting was on consignment to Thannhauser, see Eleonora Mendelssohn Papers, Manuscripts and Archives Division, The New York Public Library, Box 8, folder 8. Despite the fact that Paul Rosenberg & Co. has been listed on occasion as a gallery through which this painting passed, a phone conversation with Elaine Rosenberg in October 2003 indicates that this was not the case. {7} Bill of sale in IMA Historical File (44.74).
