A painting seized by the Nazis from a Jewish family, Germany, in 1933 has been found at a museum in New York by FBI.
The artwork – entitled Winter, by American artist Gari Melchers – was on display at the Arkell Museum until it was recognised in September.
Before being taken by the Nazis, it was owned by German philanthropist and publisher Rudolf Mosse, who was Jewish.
The piece is being held by the FBI until it can be returned to the Mosse family.
This recovery is part of an international effort to locate artwork that was seized by Nazis.
The “Winter” was purchased by Mr Mosse in 1900 at the Great Berlin Art Exhibition.
It was seized by the Nazis along with the rest of the Mosse family collection when they fled Germany.
The Mosse family was persecuted by Nazis for being Jewish and because they were affiliated with Berliner Tageblatt, a newspaper critical of the Nazi party.
