Overview
- Federal prosecutor Carlos Martínez said the painting was not found during a Policía Federal search, which seized firearms, prints and other materials as the probe for potential contraband concealment continues.
- The work, Retrato de una dama by Giuseppe Ghislandi, was identified in photos from a Robles Casas & Campos real-estate listing for a Parque Luro property tied to descendants of former SS official Friedrich Kadgien.
- Advisors to the Dutch Cultural Heritage Agency said the images match the missing Goudstikker piece and see no reason to suspect a copy, though conclusive verification requires examining the back of the canvas.
- Heirs of Amsterdam dealer Jacques Goudstikker, led by Marei von Saher, have filed a formal claim to recover the portrait after the Dutch newspaper AD publicized the discovery.
- Interpol and Argentine customs issued alerts that prompted the case, and authorities say the painting’s current whereabouts remain unknown.
