Provenance: Arne Grundt (b. Halden 1886, d. Oslo 1975), Norwegian Consul in Wiborg and Director of Wiborg Timber Company, resident in Wiborg 1909–1939. Wiborg was situated in Finland at this time, and during the three decades Arne Grundt met Russian refugees, who crossed the Russian-Finnish border at Wiborg. The refugees often sold property brought along during their escape, and Arne Grundt acquired several items, including this work. At the outbreak of the Winter War in 1939, the Grundt family had to flee to Norway in a hurry, so they quickly ripped the family's artworks down from the walls and cut some of the paintings out of the frames to take them with them. Thence by descent until today.
