Overview
- Marei von Saher, the 82-year-old heir to Goudstikker, has formally sought restitution in the Argentine case through local counsel.
- Experts from the Academia Nacional de Bellas Artes reattributed the work to Giacomo Antonio Melchiorre Ceruti (Il Pitocchetto) and placed its market value near 250,000 euros.
- The painting resurfaced after Dutch reporters spotted it in photos from a Mar del Plata home listing linked to the family of Friedrich Gustav Kadgien, a Nazi-era economic adviser.
- Federal prosecutor Carlos Martínez opened a case that charges the home's occupants with concealment, with PROCELAC involved and the judge requesting input from DAIA.
- Coverage differs on whether the painting was seized in the raid, with one report saying it was handed to the court and another saying it was missing and replaced by a tapestry.
