Inscription LL: "Modigliani"
Inscription In a letter from Eisendrath to Eleanor Seidenberg, Seidenberg Galleries, New York dated October 4, 1961: ..."The photographs of the Modigliani is also enclosed, and it was purchased from the Perls Gallery by Vladimir Golschmann, and as you will notice was their acquisition number 4762. Could I bother you to give me a fair market valuation on all of these. They are at present the property of Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Novack of the Park Plaza Hotel in St. Louis, who contemplate giving them to Washington University as a gift in the future. I am writing the Perls Gallery for a valuation on the Modigliani." On an old record card: "Purchased Perlas Gallery with [or by] Vladimir Golschmann, subsequently sold to Mr. Novack about 1950." Handwritten, "Bears the Perls mark with #4762."
