Nazi looted art in Dutch museums

What is the painting’s provenance?

In 2009  the Dutch Museum Association began an investigation into artworks that had been stolen, confiscated or sold under duress during the Nazi era between 1933 and the end of the Second World War.  (***More recent link to investigation***)

163 museums out of 400 took part. (SEE MUSEUMS)  (***More recent link to MUSEUMS***)
