A Nazi-looted painting, *Portrait of a Young Girl* by Dutch artist Toon Kelder, has been discovered in the home of descendants of Hendrik Seyffardt, a Dutch SS collaborator who aided the Nazis during World War II. The work, stolen from the renowned Goudstikker collection, was allegedly displayed for decades by Seyffardt's family. An anonymous descendant contacted art detective Arthur Brand after learning of his family's past and seeing the painting in the hallway of Seyffardt's granddaughter. The family member told Dutch newspaper *De Telegraaf* that he feels "deep shame" and insists the painting must be returned to the Jewish rightful heirs.
The case highlights the ongoing struggle to recover art looted from the Goudstikker collection, one of the largest Nazi-looted art collections still awaiting full restitution. Jacques Goudstikker owned over 1,200 artworks, all stolen during the Nazi occupation. Brand traced the painting to a 1940 auction of looted art, and attorneys for the Goudstikker heirs have initiated restitution proceedings. The discovery echoes a similar case last year in Argentina, where a painting from the same collection was found in a private home, underscoring the persistence of Nazi-looted art in private hands decades after the war.
