The work’s original owners were Johanna Margarete Stern and Siegbert Samuel Stern, a husband-and-wife duo who owned a thriving Berlin textile business and built a wide-ranging art collection that included both Golden Age Dutch paintings and contemporary masterpieces.Siegbert died in 1935, and Johanna Margarete fled to the Netherlands to escape the Nazis. She was forced to sell much of her art collection. She ultimately died at the Auschwitz concentration camp in 1944, one of nine immediate family members murdered during the war. But some of her descendants survived, including her granddaughter, Dolly, who spent two-and-a-half years alone in hiding, from the ages of seven to 10. (She died in 2014.) (English)
