Although it has been auctioned by Nazis, the UK Commission rejected a claim for restitution.[3] In its report, the Spoliation Advisory Panel stated: "The Painting, which by 1935 was owned by Margraf, was sold at a "Jew auction" to an unknown buyer by the Berlin auction house of Paul Graupe on 12 October 1935."[4]
