After the Congress of Vienna, the building was sold to Prussia, and became residence of the Prussian legation on French territory. Following the Franco-Prussian War, it served as embassy of the German Empire in France.Provenance: Millicent Rogers, New York and Taos. Thence by descent. Text in French.
