Description
In a moulded frame, the monogram ‘FWR’ for Frederick William I (King from 1713 to 1740) between palm fronds, above it the Prussian royal crown.
Provenance
Formerly the Guben City Museum. Parts of the collection were apparently evacuated to Kossar (today: Kosierz) in 1942/43. The part of the collection that remained in Guben is said to have been looted between 1945 and 1948 and has been considered lost ever since.
