The trouble began two years ago, when a Canadian company that specializes in recovering looted assets, Mondex, contacted Dreyfus about Alfred Sisley‘s petite canvas Premier jour de printemps à Moret (1889). Dreyfus bought the painting at an Impressionist and Modern art day sale at Christie’s New York in November 2008 for $338,500 with premium, according to the artnet Price Database. After identifying the painting on Dreyfus’s website, representatives for Mondex informed him that the work had been stolen by the Nazis in 1940. The rightful owners were the heirs of the Lindenbaum family, who today go by the name Lindon-Citroën. (English)
