Cf. Boetticher, Friedrich von, Malerwerke des Neunzehnten Jahrhunderts. Volume II, 2. Leipzig 1941 (reprint), page 1053, number 17 "Die Kreuzabnahme Christi": a painting (probably identical to the present one) that was exhibited in Berlin in 1844 (cf. catalogue of the XXXIV art exhibition of the Royal Academy of Arts. Berlin 1844, catalogue number 1178). The owner at that time was the "Rheinisch-Westphälische Kunstverein" (Art Association for the Rhineland and Westphalia, Düsseldorf). According to Boetticher, he sold the painting to the court architect Paasch in Berlin.
