Provenance: Master baker Reinhard van Hauen (1864-1937), his collector's mark / monogram 'RvH' on the back, dated 1934. Reinhard van Hauen was one of the most talented art connoisseurs of his own generation and a passionate collector as well. Van Hauen was particularly interested in old master art, and his large collection of both paintings and sculptures was therefore strongly influenced by his personal preference Following his death in 1937, van Hauen's collection was split up and sold on auction. Consequently, works from van Hauen's art collection still appear on auctions from time to time, and several works have been acquired by museums over the last many years.
