Argentine police raid villa linked to looted 17th-century Italian portrait from WWII-era theft.

Argentine authorities have raided a villa in Mar del Plata as part of an investigation into a 17th-century Italian portrait, "Portrait of a Lady," believed looted 80 years ago from a Jewish collector by a Nazi officer who fled to Argentina post-WWII. Although the painting was not found during the raid, items potentially aiding the investigation were seized. The painting, by Giuseppe Vittore Ghislandi, is part of a larger effort to recover artworks stolen from Jacques Goudstikker's collection during the war.
