Portrait de femme en bleu restituted to Gabrielle Philippson's heirs and reacquired for Tarbes
France's Culture Ministry announced restitution of Cornelis Janssens van Ceulen's Portrait de femme en bleu, looted from Gabrielle Philippson's estate in 1942. The mayor of Tarbes and the heirs signed a restitution agreement followed by reacquisition of the painting, which will remain at the Musee Massey. This is a completed restitution-and-reacquisition arrangement, not a report that the painting physically left the museum.
