00:00She'd been missing for more than 80 years.
00:03Looted by Nazis during World War II, the painting, Portrait of a Lady, was tracked down with
00:10the help of Dutch journalists from AD newspaper.
00:14Simply put, it is thanks to the community in part that we owe the discovery of this
00:20work because, as we know, it was ordinary citizens, specifically journalists, who undertook
00:26the investigation.
00:28The piece was one of more than 1,100 artworks stolen from Dutch-Jewish art collector Jack
00:36Gutzdicker during World War II, whose entire collection was bought in a forced sale by
00:42Hermann Göring.
00:44Documents show the artwork was passed to Friedrich Kajin, a Nazi official and aid to Göring,
00:50who fled to Argentina after the collapse of the Third Reich.
00:54It was spotted by journalists in an advertisement for his daughter Patricia Kajin's property.
00:59An initial search of the house by police came up empty-handed.
01:03But Patricia Kajin and her husband handed over the artwork via their lawyer to authorities
01:10earlier on Wednesday.
01:11The valuable painting is by the Italian artist Giuseppe Gislandi and dates to the 18th century.
01:19The cheapest painting by Gislandi was put into auction for a starting value of US$30,000 and
01:26the most expensive for US$70,000.
01:32Argentine authorities have raided further properties belonging to Patricia Kajin and
01:36her sister this week, seizing more paintings and drawings suspected of being stolen during
01:43World War II.
