Unfortunately, it was deaccessioned in 1941 along with fourteen other paintings. These fifteen works of art were sold to ** Eichleay, a dealer based in Pittsburgh, PA, for $150. In 2015, this De Forest painting resurfaced at a dealer in New York City. Thanks to the work of Prof. John Davis and Director Jessica Nicoll, the painting was re-matriated by the SCMA, where it is once again a part of the permanent collection.

In 2016, Elinor Lander Horwitz '50 donated her collection of Islamic art objects to the SCMA. This donation of ## pieces contributes an invaluable new asset to the SCMA. This discipline of art history was previously unrepresented in the museum's collection. Additionally, this donation coincides with an expansion of the Art History academic department, as it has begun hiring scholars of the field of Islamic art.**
