| Provenance and Comments: | "Lady with Parrot" by Caspar Netscher, after having been set aside for Hermann Goering, was never seen again until spotted at the permanent collection of the von der Heydt Museum in Wuppertal, Germany, in 2009-2010. Further research confirmed that the painting had never been restituted to the widow of Hugo Andriesse, Elisabeth Andriesse, who died in New York in the early 1960s. Notes to that effect can be found in the Belgian Royal Archives in Brussels, Belgium. The director of the von der Heydt Museum agreed to restitute the painting; the Committee for Culture of the city of Wuppertal supported that decision. The painting was sold at Christie's and proceeds distributed amongst the designated heirs, which include mostly a number of charities. | ||||||||||||
