A painting from the collection of Dutch Jewish art dealer Jacques Goudstikker has been traced to a house in Argentina, the AD reports following a tip-off.

Goudstikker died in an accident on board the ship that was to take him to freedom when the Germans invaded in 1940. The Nazis confiscated many of his artworks, including A Lady’s Portrait by Italian painter Giuseppe Ghislandi dating from the 17th century.

The painting, a portrait of the Contessa Colleoni, is on the international list of lost art and the official Dutch list of artworks looted by the Nazis.

The painting was in the possession of Friedrich Kadgien, advisor to Reichsmarschall and art looter Hermann Göring, who fled to Argentina after the war. There it was recently spotted on a real estate website advertising Kadgien’s house, now owned by his two daughters. The painting can be seen hanging on the wall of the living room.
