Judicial arbitrations and a Nazi-looting saga anchor Jacques Goudstikker, whose inheritance of a lost portrait resurfaces after eight decades of seizure and silence.
The agreement has paved the way for the long-sought return of Portrait of a Lady to Marei von Saher, heir of Jacques Goudstikker. Kadgien and her husband have relinquished their claim, will face court supervision for two years, and will fund local hospitals as authorities wrap up investigations into possible other looted works.
