Notes

This investigation marks the work as not located in the D’Atri papers.

Lanthemann records this head as a preparatory sketch for the larger portrait of Oscar Miestchaninoff (file 1916-w-75).

Published documentation for this file is thin. Catalogue numbers, exhibitions and bibliography are given only where this investigation recorded them.

The working notes for this investigation marked several fields as still being checked. The facts above are those already published; where sources disagree, both readings are given.
