| Comments | Rather than having been taken from a Jewish owner under duress, this painting was seized by a Jewish-run bank from a full-on Nazi party member who put it up as security for a loan that he defaulted on. The bank seized the painting from the Nazi and got a fair market price for it at auction. |
