| Object history | This small cabinet was presented to the Museum in 1940 by Constance Goetze in memory of her late husband, the painter Sigismund Goetze (Nominal File MA.1/G982). Sigismund Christian Hubert Goetze (1866-1939) was British painter, best known for the mural scheme he executed at the Foreign Office 1912-1921, on the subject of the British Empire. He had earlier given a sixteenth-century form or bench (W.78-1924) to the Museum. |
