Argentina court orders return of Nazi-looted portrait found in real estate listing
An 18th-century painting known as Portrait of a Lady, looted from Jewish art dealer Jacques Goudstikker during the 1940 Nazi invasion, has been ordered returned to his heir, Marei von Saher, after the daughter of a Nazi official agreed to relinquish her claim in Argentina. The case highlights the ongoing, global effort to restitute Nazi-looted art, with court rulings, settlements, and donors tied to ensuring the work is eventually exhibited to raise awareness of Holocaust-era crimes.
