Overview

• Algemeen Dagblad journalists, aided by investigator Paul Post, identified the work in photos from a Mar del Plata house listing by Robles Casas & Campos that has since been removed.
• Advisers at the Netherlands Agency for Cultural Heritage say the image and recorded dimensions align with the missing Ghislandi portrait, though verification requires inspecting the reverse for labels or stamps.
• The heirs of Jacques Goudstikker, led by Marei von Saher, have formally notified their claim, and Dutch officials caution the case could drag on if the current holders do not cooperate.
• The house belongs to a daughter of Friedrich Kadgien, a Nazi official linked to Hermann Göring, with postwar records placing the painting in his possession by 1946.
• Researchers also flagged a possible second missing work—a floral still life by Abraham Mignon—seen in social media posts by Kadgien’s family, with provenance still under review.
