Provenance:
Rudolf Weigang Collection, Dresden-Loschwitz, Nr. 105 (according to a label on the underside);
British Private Collection, assembled in the 1950s and 1960s
The collection of art and decorative arts formed by Rudolf Weigang (1877-1960) has recently been the subject of an exhibiton by the Albertinum and Daphne Project in Dresden (http://www.skd.museum/en/special-exhibitions/archive/the-rudolf-weigang-collection/index.html). Originally from Bautzen, Rudolf Weigang and his wife Dorothea lived from the 1930s in a villa in the Loschwitz district of Dresden, in which their extensive collection was housed. The couple fled Dresden in 1945 and the villa was subsequently occupied by Soviet forces. In 1948, some of the remaining art and furnishings were transferred to the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden.
