There is painting " man with a moustache" dated 1913 in the Denver art museum that Restellini recall as the son of Joseph Levi, is actually named as "mon concierge" since it was for sale at
Jacques Seligmann & Co, NY as loaned from Frank Crownishdale? 420 Lexingtron Av. NY
The Denver art museum reflects the provenance only as a gift of Mrs. Rhoda Semo in 1980.

Another painting with expertise by d'Atri could also fit in the description given by the experts but is all on the doubt zone
