NOTES:
[1] An Oscar Bondy label with the number 706 is located on the bottom of the sculpture. Attempts to identify this sculpture in inventories of Oscar Bondy's collection, however, have not been successful.
Oscar Bondy, a Jewish businessman living in Vienna, had owned a vast collection of paintings, sculptures, and works of decorative art, which was seized and expropriated with the Anschluss, or annexation of Austria to Nazi Germany in 1938. Mr. Bondy and his wife left Europe and emigrated to the United States, where he passed away in 1944. In the years following World War II, much of his collection was restituted to his widow and subsequently sold on the New York art market, particularly through Mont.
