With Edwin Bucher, Trogen, by 1985;

by whom sold to Dr Erika Pohl-Ströher (1919-2016)

Dr Pohl-Ströher, the late owner of this work, was a truly astonishing collector, with interests in subjects as diverse as books, drawings, folk art, minerals, paintings and portrait miniatures.


Her collection of portrait miniatures was formed over a period of nearly forty years, between 1978 and 2016. By the end of her life, it comprised more than 1800 individual works, ranging from the 16th to the 19th centuries, and included a plethora of remarkable works from all the major national schools. It is now widely recognised as one of the most important private collections ever assembled. Other works from the collection in sale are lots 245 through to 253.
