[1] In Cordula Frowein’s “Liste der Werke aus der Sammlung Fischer” found in Heuberger, Georg, Ed. Expressionismus und Exil: Die Sammlung Ludwig and Rosy Fischer, Frankfurt am Main. München: Prestel, 1990, p. 161, the painting is cited as Number 43 in Ludwig Schames 1919 catalogue. It is thought that the Fischers acquired the work directly from Ludwig Schames. See Ausstellung von Germälden von E.L. Kirchner. Frankfurt: Ludwig Schames, 1919, cat. 43. In catalogue, the title of cat. 43 is Müllers im Atelier (Muellers in Studio). A painting with same title, Müllers im Atelier, is included in a 1925 handwritten list by Rosy Fischer: See Staatsgalerie Stuttgart, Archiv Grohmann: https://www.staatsgalerie.de/en/g/collection/digital-collection/einzelansicht/sgs/werk/einzelansicht/EAC84DD3DBAA4697B69229D5B8903B96.html
[2] Ludwig and Rosy Fischer were art collectors in Frankfurt, Germany, who primarily collected contemporary German art between 1905 and 1925. Ludwig Fischer died on April 25, 1922. In November of 1923, Rosy Fischer founded an art gallery in her home, primarily showing works on paper by second generation German Expressionist artists. The gallery was closed early in the year of 1925.
Rosy died on February 27, 1926, while traveling in North Africa. (See Brandt, Fredrick R. German Expressionist Art: Ludwig and Rosy Fischer Collection, Richmond, Virginia: Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, 1987, pp. 1 - 11).
[3] In 1926, the Fischer collection was divided and inherited by Ludwig and Rosy Fischer's sons, Max Fischer (1893-1954) and Ernst Fischer (1896 – 1981). In 1934, Ernst and Anne Fischer fled Germany to the United States with their part of the collection, first to Rochester, New York and then settled in Richmond, Virginia. (See Brandt, 1987, pp. 1 -11.)
