5Franz von Mendelssohn Berlin • by 1914 until [d.] 1935 Vincent van Gogh, (exh. cat.) Galerie Paul Cassirer, Berlin 1914, no. 135.
6Dr. Peter Nikolaus Witt Bern • by 1951 Grandson of Franz von Mendelssohn (and son of Emma Witt-von Mendelssohn), AStEGB, Letter from Dr. Peter N. Witt, Bern, to Emil Bührle, 31 January 1951, confirming conversation of the same day regarding the sale of two paintings by Vincent van Gogh, «Le champ de blé jaune» [F.717] and «Branches de marronniers en fleurs» [F.820] from the collection of his grandfather for CHF 550.000.
7Emil Bührle Zurich • 11 February 1951 until [d.] 28 November 1956 Acquired from the above, AStEGB, Letter from Emil Bührle to Dr. Peter N. Witt, Bern, 3 February 1951, acknowledging receipt of the above letter, and announcing the transfer of CHF 550.000 for the two paintings; Letter from Dr. Peter N. Witt, Bern, to Emil Bührle, 11 February 1951, acknowledging receipt of CHF 550.000; Entry Book I, 15 January 1951, identifies Dr. F. Nathan as the consignor and indicates a price of CHF 280.000. The price for [F.717], consigned by Nathan on 5 January 1951, is indicated in the Entry Book as being CHF 350.000; however, when the painting was lent for a reproduction to a printing firm in Zurich shortly thereafter, it was insured for a sum of CHF 300.000, AStEGB, Insurance Policy from Helvetia Feuer St. Gall made out to J. E. Wolfensberger, Zurich, 19 July 1951; hence it seems fair to assume that the prices given in the Entry Book I were asking prices, and the prices individually paid for the two paintings were CHF 300.000 for F.717 and CHF 250.000 for F.820 respectively.
