Two works by the Austrian Expressionist painter Egon Schiele, looted by the Nazis during World War II, have been returned to the descendants of the family that once owned them. The return of the works, Portrait of a Man (1917) and Girl With Black Hair (1911), was announced by investigators with U.S. Department of Homeland Security and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin J. Bragg. (English)

One of the works, Girl With Black Hair, was voluntarily handed over by Oberlin College’s Allen Museum to prosecutors in Manhattan. It is now back in the hands of the heirs of Austrian Jewish performer Fritz Grünbaum and his wife Elisabeth. Grünbaum was murdered at the Dachau concentration camp in 1941. (English)
