Piet de Boer was an Amsterdam dealer who was a close contact of Hofer, Posse, Lohse, Miedl and other Nazi art agents.  There is nothing in this painting's chain of ownership, however, to indicate any dubious World War II-era provenance, nor does the painting appear in any databases of Nazi-looted art or records pertaining to Nazi looting activities.
