Nazi's daughter posts picture of looted art during house sale

Property Valued at Nearly $1.4 Million

Property valuation experts have confirmed that the painting, which was looted by the Nazis, could be worth nearly $1.4 million. The painting, by French artist Gaston La Touche, is titled Young Girl in a Shawl, and was confiscated by the Nazi regime during World War II. The piece was recognized by art authentication and valuation company, Art Recovery, which helped facilitate its return to the original owner's family.

Unprecedented Find in House Sale

The painting's owner, who inherited the painting from her mother, stated that her family has "carrying this burden for almost 70 years...". The woman, identified as Ms. Haber, decided to search for the painting's origins after hearing about the tragic deaths of many Holocaust survivors, who never got the chance to recover their stolen property. She hopes that the return of the painting can bring "closure and comfort" to those grieving families.

Authenticating Looted Art

The process of authenticating looted art is a complex one, often requiring extensive research, archival work, and collaboration with relevant authorities. In the case of Young Girl in a Shawl, Haber and her team used archival information, as well as photographs and documents provided by the German government, to confirm the painting's provenance and its theft by the Nazi regime.
