The provenance of this painting is unclear. It is unknown how, when, and under what circumstances art dealer Bier from Amsterdam acquired the work. Bier sold the painting in November 1942 to the planned Führer Museum in Linz. It is unclear who acted as an intermediary in this transaction. Bier himself stated that this was done through Posse, but Posse had already died in 1942.
