Provenienz
1Georges-Henri Manuel Paris • 1891 until at least 1914 Received as a gift from the artist; Exposition rétrospective de l'œuvre de H. de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864–1901), Galerie Manzi-Joyant, Paris 1914, no. 57.
2Mme G.-H. Manuel Paris Paul Cassirer/Walter Feilchenfeldt-Archiv, Zurich, File regarding Toulouse-Lautrec, Georges-Henri Manuel.
3Weinberger Paris • 1930 File as above, n. (2).
4Dr. Walter Feilchenfeldt for N. V. Amsterdamsche Kunsthandel Paul Cassirer & Co. Amsterdam & St. Gall • 1930–1942 Acquired from the above in December 1930, File as above (2). Dr. Feilchenfeldt kept operating the Galerie Paul Cassirer, Berlin, through its Amsterdam branch from November 1933, when he emigrated from Germany. At the outbreak of World War II in September 1939, Dr. Feilchenfeldt was in Switzerland where he settled with his family.
5Emil Bührle Zurich • 19 May 1942 until [d.] 28 November 1956 Acquired from the above through the medium of Dr. Fritz Nathan, St. Gall, AStEGB, Inventory Card Toulouse-Lautrec, Georges-Henri Manuel, indicating Dr. Walter Feilchenfeldt as the seller, and a purchase price of CHF 45.000 paid by Bührle; for the date of the purchase, and the mediation of Dr. Fritz Nathan AStEGB, Record concerning a visit of Dr. Fritz Nathan at Werkzeugmaschinenfabrik Oerlikon Bührle & Co., 19 May 1942, with handwritten annotation by Bührle regarding payment of the Toulouse-Lautrec. Whilst Dr. Feilchenfeldt was granted a permit to stay in Switzerland, he was denied a work permit and could, therefore, not act officially as an art dealer. Even when selling his own property, as in this case, Feilchenfeldt would rely upon colleagues such as Dr. Fritz Nathan as intermediaries for sales. Surviving correspondence shows that the painting, which had been brought to Switzerland at an unknown date before the war, was exhibited as a loan to the Kunstmuseum St. Gall prior to its sale, Paul Cassirer/Walter Feilchenfeldt-Archiv, Zurich, Letters from Konrad Peter Naegeli, Mayor of St. Gall, to Dr. Walter Feilchenfeldt, 17 September 1941 and 16 May 1942 (copies by courtesy of Konrad Feilchenfeldt, owner of the Ascona family papers, Ascona Ordner), the latter confirming release of the painting to Dr. Fritz Nathan. A Notebook 1940–1942 of Dr. Walter Feilchenfeldt, kept in the Paul Cassirer/Walter Feilchenfeldt-Archiv, Zurich, contains various references to the painting and documents a sales price, received by Feilchenfeldt, of CHF 42.000.
