More details

  • Provenance: acquired before 1943, most likely during the interbellum, by the Lochard family, the head of which served the French state as governor of Indo-China. In preparation of the exhibition ‘Klassieke Kunst in Particulier Bezit’ (Leiden, 1975), the collection, then in the possession of their daughter, was described in 1973 by students of the University of Amsterdam under the direction of Prof. Dr. J.M. Hemelrijk. The collection was inherited by their grandson, the actual owner.
