Provenance
The Collection of G. B. Sabelström (1888–1944). Sabelström worked for the Indian Brewery/United Breweries and lived in Shanghai from the 1920s up until his death in 1944. He was an important art collector and a member of The Royal Asiatic Society in Shanghai that was closely related to the Shanghai Art Museum. As he passed without heirs, he left his collection to Erik Dahl (1896-1979), a Swedish agent for the Swedish paper industry that came to be stationed in Shanghai and Kobe from the 1920s and onwards. Erik Dahl returned to Sweden by the Trans-Siberian Railway and the collection was sent by sea to Sweden after World War II. Thence by descent.
