S., There is a contradiction here, because Jawlensky's catalog raisonné names 12 paintings with the provenance of "Philipp Harth" as existent, cf .: Maria Jawlensky, Lucia Pieroni-Jawlensky and Angelica Jawlensky, Notes on the Catalog, in: Maria Jawlensky, Lucia Pieroni-Jawlensky and Angelica Jawlensky (eds.), Alexej von Jawlensky, Catalog Raisonné of the oil-paintings, Vol. 3, Munich 1993, p. 473
