This work comes from the collection of the renowned architect and patron Simon Ravenstein (1844–1932), a close friend and collector of Hans Thomas. Ravenstein was not only known for his striking buildings in Frankfurt, but was also deeply committed to social issues and the promotion of contemporary art. As a patron and collector of Thomas's works, he played an important role in the artist's reception in Frankfurt. The painting remained in the Ravenstein family until the 1950s, when it made its way into the Frankfurt art trade and became part of the important Georg Schäfer Collection.
