Berlin’s Alte Nationalgalerie returned Camille Pissarro’s 1867 painting A Square in La Roche-Guyon to Armand Dorville’s heirs and then bought it back. The work had been sold in 1942 at an auction of the Jewish lawyer’s collection under the Vichy regime. Image: Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, Alte Nationalgalerie / Jörg P. Anders.
