An Argentine court has approved a deal to return a long-lost 18th-century Italian portrait, which was looted from a prominent Jewish art dealer during World War II, to his heir.
The agreement paves the way for the long-sought return of Portrait of a Lady to Marei von Saher, the sole surviving heir of Dutch-Jewish art dealer Jacques Goudstikker, whose celebrated collection was sold under duress to Nazi officials after Adolf Hitler’s Germany invaded the Netherlands in 1940.
