Painting stolen by Nazis during WWII discovered in real estate ad

A long-lost painting stolen by the Nazis during World War II has been discovered hanging in a home in Argentina after appearing in a real estate advertisement. The artwork, 'Portrait of a Lady' by Vittore Ghislandi, was once owned by Dutch-Jewish art dealer Jacques Goudstikker, whose collection was looted by the Nazis. Art experts believe the painting is authentic, and its presence in the home of a former Nazi official's daughter has sparked renewed efforts to reclaim the piece. Goudstikker's heirs now plan to pursue legal action to recover the artwork and restore the family's legacy. The discovery has also led to the identification of another missing painting from the same collection, highlighting ongoing efforts to locate and return stolen art.
