Ukraine’s Permanent Mission to the UN confirmed on 20 February 2020 that an official handover of Pierre Louis Goudreaux’s An Amorous Couple took place in New York the previous day, attended by Foreign Minister Vadym Prystaiko. Looted from Kyiv’s Khanenko Museum during World War II, the painting was found in the United States. This is a restitution update to the civil forfeiture action announced in 2019.
