A painting stolen from the family of art collector Adolphe Schloss by Germans during the WWII occupation of France will be returned to his descendants in New York, the French consulate said in a statement. The painting, Dutch artist Salomon Koninck’s 1639 “A Scholar Sharpening His Quill,” was part of an important collection of Flemish and Dutch works owned by Schloss, a Jewish man who lived in Paris. Its return on April 1, facilitated by FBI agents, took place at the French consulate. Millions of items owned by Jews and in art galleries were confiscated under the Nazi-aligned French Vichy government’s anti-Semitic laws during the German occupation. Manhattan prosecutors regularly submit requests to return goods stolen during the war.
