The painting, once part of a prominent Jewish art collector’s collection, was stolen during World War II. The discovery was prompted by Dutch journalists investigating a former Nazi official who fled to Argentina, leading to the painting’s seizure from the Kadgien family, with the couple facing charges of concealment and obstruction of justice. Authorities have since taken possession of the painting.
