This portrait is one of four paintings that the textile manufacturer Carl Lewin commissioned his friend Max Liebermann with: a portrait for four of his six children - the others received his portrait bust by Georg Kolbe. The painting shown here was intended for his daughter Cäcilie, another for Leo Lewin, the important art collector (and her brother).

As a Jew, Cäcilie suffered persecution by the National Socialists soon after the Nazis came into power. Her two sons were able to flee to South Africa in time, but Cäcilie was not. Shortly before she was deported to Auschwitz, she gave her possessions, including her art collection, to a distant non-Jewish relative, Hermine Marie Lewin, née Radespiel. The portrait thus remained in Berlin and was saved from confiscation.

Cäcilie did not survive deportation and her sons never received the painting back. Instead, the painting was sold by the descendants of Hermine Marie Lewin in 1955. Today, the painting with its eventful history can be offered free from restitution claims based on a fair and just solution. [CFN]
