Schiele's Seated Nude Woman returned by the Papanek family to Grünbaum's heirs
Seated Nude Woman (1918) by Egon Schiele was returned to Fritz Grünbaum's heirs at a Manhattan ceremony. The Papanek family, themselves descendants of refugees from Nazi persecution, investigated its provenance and contacted the heirs. This was the eleventh work returned in the Manhattan prosecutor's Grünbaum investigation and a separate restitution from the seven-work handover in September 2023.
