Overview
- Prosecutor Daniel Adler said a lawyer for the Kadgien family handed over Giuseppe Ghislandi’s "Porträt einer Dame," which is now secured in a special custody chamber.
- Dutch reporters first spotted the long-missing work in a Mar del Plata property listing where it appeared hanging above a sofa.
- The home is linked to the daughters of former SS officer Friedrich Kadgien, and initial searches found a tapestry and traces where the painting had hung.
- Authorities placed Patricia Kadgien and her husband under house arrest, with a hearing scheduled for Thursday as the probe moves forward.
- Investigators reported seizing about 25 additional works from related properties, and an expert at the press conference dated the painting to around 1710 and estimated its value at $50,000.
