Conclusion
This drawing was given to the museum anonymously in 1940, possibly not as a gift but in a camouflaged form of safekeeping.
Explanation
The inventory card, written up on 11 March 1953, describes the work as given by an ‘unknown donor’ in 1940. It also notes that the work had a safe number: 636. This indicates that the work was stored at the shelter in Castricum (later Zandvoort) where the museum stored art from the collection during the war. Under the header Description, the writer also notes: ‘Galerie Thannhauser/Casirer? [Cassirer] Lutjens?’ This information may have been derived from text or a label on the reverse of the frame.
