Heymann started accumulating Pechstein's work in 1909. Along with the Nazis having actually risen to power in Germany, the Heymann family members left the country in 1936, leaving their home and also art selection. The works were eventually confiscated by German pressures and classified "degenerate fine art," a designation that Third Reich officials gave to hundreds of works generated through Jewish musicians at the time. The gallery purchased the work in 1971 from a gallery in Berlin.
Kendra Heymann Sagoff, among the Heymann inheritors associated with the drawing's restitution, showed appreciation for the defined return. "The HCPO group's respect of the uniquely private attribute of the Heymann Pechstein Remembrance selection and their unwavering dedication to compensation have actually led to the very first reparation of a Pechstein job to the Heymann family members in greater than 75 years," she pointed out.
