a few months after the invasion, a Dutch art dealer took possession of the painting without permission from the Lewensteins and that it was then auctioned in October 1940 alongside items brought to market by a German businessman named Alois Miedl. Those works included pieces from the collection of Jacques Goudstikker, a Jewish Dutch collector. In 2006, the Dutch government announced that it would return to Mr. Goudstikker’s heirs more than 200 old master paintings that had been obtained in July 1940 by the Nazi leader Hermann Göring and his dealer, Mr. Miedl.The painting was bought at the auction in 1940 by a Dutch man, S.B.S. Slijper, who lent it to the Stedelijk from 1957 to 1963 and then to the Gemeentemuseum in The Hague between 1963 and 1971, the complaint said.BayernLB has said that it bought the painting in 1972 from Mr. Slijper’s widow, according to the court papers.
