Acquired from the above, Entry Book as above, n. (3), with mention "gekauft am 5. III. 56". An invoice,
made out by Max Kaganovitch to Emil Bührle on 23 February 1956, for the present still life and the still life
Cooper no. 301 gives the figure of FF 1.5 mio. (= CHF 18.000) for each of the two paintings. Compared with
a still life by Gris (Cooper no. 443) which Bührle purchased in the same month from Marlborough Fine Art
Ltd., London, and for which he paid CHF 60.000, the figure in the invoice is likely to represent only that part
of the total amount which was paid openly via the Franco-Swiss Clearing.
