Episode Details

Argentina is set to return a 1700s painting stolen by the Nazis — “Portrait of a Lady” — after it was discovered hanging above a couch in a Buenos Aires home. The artwork, part of a collection looted from Dutch art dealer Jacques Goudstikker during WWII, was found in photos of a house for sale owned by the daughter of a high-ranking Nazi SS financier who fled to Argentina. The couple, charged with hiding the piece, have agreed to return it to Goudstikker’s heir and donate $3,200 to local hospitals. Prosecutors confirmed its authenticity and condition. The painting will be displayed in Buenos Aires for at least a year to honor Goudstikker’s legacy and raise awareness about the fate of thousands of stolen artworks still missing.
