Artwork looted by Nazis 80 years ago spotted in estate agent ad

Artwork Looted by Nazis Identified in Estate Agent Advertisement A painting, "Portrait of a Lady," that was looted by the Nazis more than 80 years ago has been discovered in an estate agent advertisement for a house near Buenos Aires, Argentina. The painting was originally owned by a Jewish art dealer in Amsterdam and was stolen by the Nazis during World War II. The painting was identified by an art historian who spotted it in the background of the real estate listing. The painting is now the subject of an international investigation to determine its rightful owner and facilitate its return. The discovery highlights the ongoing efforts to recover artwork and cultural objects that were stolen by the Nazis during the war. Many such works remain missing or unidentified, and this case serves as a reminder of the importance of continued vigilance and collaboration in uncovering and repatriating looted art.
