Pengadilan Argentina telah menyetujui pengembalian lukisan abad ke-18 yang dicuri Nazi kepada ahli waris pemilik aslinya, mengakhiri penyelidikan yang dimulai ketika karya seni tersebut muncul dalam iklan properti. Portrait of a Lady, karya pelukis barok Italia Giuseppe Ghislandi, telah hilang selama delapan dekade sejak dirampas dari koleksi pedagang seni Yahudi Jacques Goudstikker setelah invasi Nazi ke Belanda pada tahun 1940.
Para penyelidik melacak lukisan tersebut hingga ke rumah putri seorang perwira senior Nazi yang melarikan diri ke Argentina setelah Perang Dunia II, setelah lukisan itu muncul di latar belakang foto iklan properti. Berdasarkan penyelesaian yang disetujui pengadilan Buenos Aires, wanita tersebut dan suaminya melepaskan semua klaim atas lukisan itu dan setuju untuk menyumbangkan sekitar 4,8 juta peso (sekitar $3.200) kepada rumah sakit setempat alih-alih menghadapi persidangan. Lukisan itu akan diserahkan kepada Marei von Saher, menantu perempuan dan satu-satunya ahli waris Goudstikker, yang berencana memamerkannya di Buenos Aires selama setidaknya satu tahun untuk membantu menceritakan kisah mertuanya.
