Object history
Provenance
  • 1.) Duke August of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg (the sitter in the male portrait, which is presented here)
  • 2.) The latter's daughter, Princess Louise of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg. From 1817 until her divorce in 1826, she was the wife of Duke Ernst I of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. It was exactly in this period (1817-1826) that both of "our" portraits were given as presents to their Court Marshal, on occasion of the latter's wedding.
  • 3.) Marshal at the Court of Duke Ernst I of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. According to the aforementioned article in St. Paul's (Minnesota, USA) local newspaper (see our image nr.50), he died in "ca. 1826". Was his name Ernst Friedrich von Schlotheim, Oberhofmarschal (Senior Court Marshal) of the Duchy Saxe-Coburg-Gotha (see our image nr.52)?
  • 4.) One of the Court Marshal's offsprings.
  • 5.) Helen von Brixen, daughter of Emil von Brixen, colonel in army of Principality Reuss in Gera, Germany. Helen was married Paul Hugo, Freiherr (Baron) von Lorenz (1837-1876), son of Ernst Constantine, Freiherr von Lorenz from Nitzschka by Leipzig and Augusta Mahlmann (daughter of Leipzig poet and play weriter Siegfried August Mahlmann), Paul Hugo was a graduate of the Prussian Military Academy in Berlin (he died in Prinzlau, Germany from wounds received during service in the Franco-Prussian War). Their son Ernest Emile was born in 1861. In age of 18 (three years after the father's death) he emmigrated to USA whereas his mother remained in Germany.
  • 6.) In 1908, after Mme von Lorenz died in Germany, her (then 47-year-old) son Ernest Emile took both portraits to the USA with him. Obviously families von Brixen and von Lorenz had connections (through principal family Reuss) to both the Gotha and Altenburg ducal families.
  • 7.) Ernest Emile von Lorenz (1861-1947). In age of 18 he came to USA and joined the US military. He served in the US 8th Cavalry Regiment achieving the rank of a sergeant major (the highest rank of a non-commissioned officer). In the 1880s, in ranks of his regiment, Ernest Emile fought against the Apaches across the states of Texas, Arizona and New Mexico. Having retired from the army, he settled in St. Paul (Minnesota / USA) and later became the Commander of the Minnesota branch of the National Indian War Veterans Association.
  • 8.) From 1947, heirs of Ernest Emile von Lorenz, living in St. Paul, Minnesota, USA.
  • 9.) Auction house "Clars Auction Gallery", Oakland, California / USA; sale on July 26, 2015, lots 6242A and 6242B.
