quotation

PROVIDENCE, R.I.–A lawyer has asked a federal appeals court to overturn a decision forcing a woman to surrender a portrait to the estate of a late Jewish art dealer who fled the Nazis seven decades ago.A judge in December ordered Maria-Luise Bissonnette, a German baroness now living in Providence, to return the painting "Girl from the Sabine Mountains" to the estate of Max Stern.But her lawyer argued that Stern and his estate waited too long before demanding the painting.Nazi officials forced Stern to liquidate his family's Dusseldorf art gallery in 1937 because he was Jewish. Bissonnette's stepfather bought the painting, by 19th-century artist Franz Xaver Winterhalter, at auction. (English)
