Materials: Oil on panel
Acquisition: Bequeathed as part of the Princes Gate Collection, 1978.
Additional information: On 31 October 2000 a claim was submitted for the restitution of this painting. This claim was substantially based on facts presented to the Dutch Government's Advisory Committee on the Assessment of Restitution Applications for Items of Cultural Value and the Second World War (Restitution Committee). In December 2003 the Restitution Committee advised the Dutch State Secretary of Education, Culture and Science to reject the claim. In the light of these findings, and based upon research undertaken by the Courtauld Gallery, the Samuel Courtauld Trustees followed the conclusion of the Dutch Restitution Committee and rejected the claim. In 2007 the Courtauld referred the case to the Spoliation Advisory Panel, whose recommendations were published in November of that year. The Panel concluded decisively that Count Antoine Seilern, who subsequently donated his collection to the Courtauld, had acquired the paintings in legitimate circumstances, and recommended that the claim be rejected, stating in its concluding remarks, that we consider it right to record our opinion that no criticism attaches to the Courtauld in respect of the manner and circumstances of its acceptance of the bequest of these paintings. In our view the Courtauld had no occasion to question the title of Count Seilern or the moral propriety of his acquisition of the paintings.

Questions in the operative period: Where was this drawing between the years 1933-1945?
Materials: traces of black chalk, pen and brown ink on laid paper, with brown ink framing lines
Acquisition: Princes Gate Bequest 1978
Additional information: The identification of the individuals in this provenance is currently only speculative. Colnaghi's archive books testify that they acquired the drawing from a "Mrs Frohlich", and prior to her, the drawing belonged to the "Coll: Eisler". Seilern clarified in his 1955 catalogue that this collection was in Vienna, and added that this drawing had also been in Heseltine's 1913 sale. As a Rembrandt drawing, now in Washington, was purchased at the same Heseltine sale by an "H. Eissler, Vienna", it seems likely that Colnaghi simply omitted an 's' in their spelling of the name and the previous owner may have been Hermann Eissler of Vienna. A 1913 dictionary of Viennese art collectors lists a few 'Frohlichs' but Otto Frohlich, who owned a gallery, seems a potential candidate to have purchased this drawing from Eissler. Otto's wife was named Valerie, is this the "Mrs Frohlich" referred to by Colnaghi?
Dimensions: 14.6 x 19.2 cm
Provenance: John Postle Heseltine, London (1843-1929); his sale, Frederik Muller et Cie. (Amsterdam) 27-28 May 1913, lot 70; likely purchased there by Hermann Eissler, Vienna (1860-1953); Mrs (Valerie?) Frohlich; purchased from her by Colnaghi (London), 3 November 1951; purchased there by Count Antoine Seilern (1901-1978), 3 November 1951 (£750); Princes Gate Bequest 1978
