Overview

• A photo on Robles Casas & Campos’ site for a Mar del Plata villa showed Giuseppe Ghislandi’s Portrait of a Lady hanging above a sofa, matching a work listed as unreturned after World War II.
• AD reporters traced the image to descendants of Friedrich Kadgien, a senior aide to Hermann Göring, and the listing with the photos was later removed after reporters sought comment.
• Advisers at the Cultural Heritage Agency of the Netherlands say there is no reason to think it is a copy and that labels or marks on the back could verify provenance; an art historian said the composition and dimensions align with archival records.
• Goudstikker heir Marei von Saher has engaged U.S. attorneys and intends to file a restitution claim for the portrait, a process likely to involve complex cross-border and private-ownership hurdles.
• Researchers also noted a separate still life by Abraham Mignon appearing in a family social media post, though its ownership and provenance remain unconfirmed and it is not part of the Goudstikker estate’s planned claim.
