Overview
- The Netherlands’ Cultural Heritage Agency says the image is almost certainly Giuseppe Vittore Ghislandi’s Portrait of a Lady but stresses that definitive identification requires an in-person examination.
- Argentine authorities raided a house in Mar del Plata tied to a former aide to Hermann Göring’s family, did not find the painting, seized other items, and opened probes into possible concealment and smuggling as Interpol supports the search.
- Dutch newspaper AD’s reporters located the portrait in photos on the Robles Casas & Campos property listing connected to one of Friedrich Kadgien’s daughters; the listing and images were removed after publication.
- Archival records link the work to Dutch-Jewish dealer Jacques Goudstikker’s looted collection and to Kadgien’s postwar possession, aligning with the dimensions and composition seen in the listing photo.
- Goudstikker’s heir Marei von Saher plans a formal restitution claim for the portrait, while researchers are also examining a possible Abraham Mignon still life visible on a family social media post.
