Overview

• Argentine federal agents raided a Kadgien-linked house after real-estate photos appeared to show Giuseppe Ghislandi’s Retrato de una dama, yet the painting was gone when officers arrived.
• Investigators seized more than 25 period prints, documents, two cellphones, and firearms, with prosecutors later accessing the phones as part of the inquiry.
• Interpol’s cultural-heritage unit and Dutch experts are assisting, with Netherlands records indicating a strong match to a Goudstikker inventory entry documented after World War II.
• Prosecutors say early indications suggest the work was removed after publicity and may still be in the Mar del Plata area, with the property’s owners facing potential concealment charges.
• Goudstikker’s heirs pursue restitution while a second possible looted work by Abraham Mignon seen in family photos is under review, and experts stress authenticity requires physical examination of any recovered canvas.
