Note: Roger Delapalme (1892 Paris–1969 Paris) was the son of the public notary Pierre-Marie Delapalme. Roger Delapalme was professionally employed in the management of the Compagnie des Courtiers Jurés d’assurances, an insurance company, where he served first as Treasurer and then as Deputy Director. His wife Yvonne was the daughter of Henry Chabert, the director of the Banque de Paris et des Pays-Bas. The couple resided in Paris, first at 17 Rue du Général-Foy, and from 1929/30 at 65 Rue La Boétie. Delapalme’s business address was 92 Rue de Richelieu. The extant papers of Cornelius Gurlitt contain an inventory of art works said to belong to Roger Delapalme, as appraised by the art expert François Max-Kann in early 1941. This appraisal itemizes 40 lots (comprising a total of 58 artworks), including two Guardi drawings (this sheet and its pair, Lost Art ID: 478220). While the exact circumstances of the transaction are not yet known, it is most likely that Gurlitt acquired these works after February 1941, possibly through Max-Kann who may have acted as intermediary. In a condolence letter to Hildebrand Gurlitt’s widow Helene, dated 2 April 1957, Guardi expert Antonio Morassi asked if he might view Tiepolo and Guardi drawings that Hildebrand had shown him two years earlier. The personal papers found in Cornelius Gurlitt’s Salzburg home include a collection of about 2,400 photographs of artworks. Photographs nos. 7.1_F770 and 9.1_F937 are reproductions of this work; inscribed on verso of 7.1_F770, a statement of authenticity by Max-Kann, dated 10 June 1942. The original report on the provenance of this work, as submitted to the Task Force Schwabing Art Trove, was made accessible online at www.taskforce-kunstfund.de as of 14 January 2016. That report was updated by the Gurlitt Provenance Research Project on 1 November 2018.
