Overview

• Federal police searched a Mar del Plata home linked to descendants of Nazi official Friedrich Kadgien but did not find the painting, seizing prints, phones, weapons and other materials for analysis.
• Prosecutor Carlos Martínez confirmed an investigation for possible concealment tied to contraband and said alerts from Interpol and customs followed the press revelations.
• The work identified is Retrato de una dama by Giuseppe Ghislandi from Jacques Goudstikker’s looted collection, seen in interior photos for a Parque Luro property listed by Robles Casas & Campos.
• Advisers to the Netherlands Cultural Heritage Agency report the photos and measurements align with records and see no reason to assume a copy, though authentication requires examining the reverse of the canvas.
• The Goudstikker heirs have filed a restitution claim, and researchers are also assessing social‑media images that may depict a missing floral still life by Abraham Mignon.
