Tapestry depicting a Hunting Scene

Conclusion

Who owned this tapestry before it was acquired by Rijksbureau voor Kunsthistorische Documentatie is no longer known.

Explanation

During the war, the tapestry was kept in the safe at Rijksbureau voor Kunsthistorische Documentatie (Netherlands Institute for Art History) in The Hague. It is unclear who the owner was and why it was kept there. Dr H. Gerson, who worked at RKD at the time, gave permission for the tapestry to be hung elsewhere. It was included in the Museum Acquisitions 1940-1948 report (Amsterdam 1999).
