Provenance

Recorded Ownership History
Possibly Johann Wilhelm Veith. [1] Possibly Dietrich Schindler. Possibly Paul Ganz, Basel. Hugo von Ziegler and Edith Schindler, Schaffhausen, 1921, by descent; to Ziegler-Schindler heirs, Schaffhausen, 1966, sold; through [Hotel Drouot [Christophe Joron-Derem], Paris, December 13, 2017, lot 51], sold; to Peter Soriano, New York, 2017, gift; to Harvard Art Museums, 2023

Note
[1] The Lugt profile (L.793, L.4432) on Dietrich Schindler explains that Schindler purchased part of the collection of Johann Wilhelm Veith, which included 258 drawings of coats of arms for stained glass. Twenty-one drawings from Dietrich Schindler’s collection eventually ended up in that of Hugo von Ziegler, which came into that collection via Paul Ganz of Basel between 1921 and 1925. Lugt does not list this drawing as one of the ones in Dietrich Schindler’s collection, but Thöne gives 1921 as the year Ziegler acquired the work, without further information.
