Seven heirs of Jewish banker challenge Sotheby’s £1.2 million Pissarro sale, claim painting was looted by Nazis during World War II

A prized artwork by Camille Pissarro is embroiled in a contentious legal battle initiated by the heirs of Salomon Flavian. They assert that the piece was taken by the Nazis during WWII and argue that they were not adequately involved in a prior settlement. Sotheby’s counters, insisting the sale was aboveboard and legally sound. This dispute highlights ongoing hurdles in recovering Holocaust-era property and ensuring rightful family representation.
