Saleroom Notice
Please note that the Wildenstein Institute has kindly suggested that this lot may have been purchased directly from Leopold Zborowski by Jonas Netter,
and therefore did not pass through the collection of Roger Dutilleul before its acquisition by Mr. Netter.
Marc Restellini informed the auction house it was never in the possesion of Dutilleul, even so, the auction house keep the provenance as they decided.
They informed about the opinion but did not give it credit as to change it.
