Meyer’s entire biological family was murdered during the Holocaust, but she was fortunate enough to survive the genocide. She would go on to spend decades searching for the painting, which included suing a Swiss art dealer who owned it in 1953.A Swiss judge dismissed her suit, citing a law in place at the time that denied claims for art filed after a five-year window succeeding the war, as reported by The Oklahoman. OU has cited this same court case in their current defense for keeping the painting.The painting ended up in a New York City gallery before it was purchased by Norman oilman Aaron Weitzenhoffer and his wife, Clara, in 1956. When Clara died in 2000, the painting, along with an extensive collection of other French impressionist art, was given to the OU museum. (English)
