A portrait by Giuseppe Ghislandi, looted by the Nazis from a Jewish art dealer in Amsterdam, has been identified on the website of an estate agent advertising a house in Argentina. The painting, *Portrait of a Lady*, belonged to Jacques Goudstikker, whose collection was seized by Hermann Göring during World War II. Wartime documents suggest the painting was in the possession of a Nazi official who later fled to Argentina, where his daughters now reside. The Goudstikker estate’s heirs plan to make every effort to recover the painting, and the search for the looted artworks continues.
