The artwork “Jeanne Pontillon à la capeline” by artist Berthe Morisot was painted in 1884 and belonged to the David-Weill family in France until it was stolen by the Nazis after the invasion in 1940.The piece was since bought by gallery owner Friedrich Welz, who then donated his collection to the state-owned Museum der Moderne Salzburg.According to the museum, Welz's "questionable role" in the Austrian art trade during the Nazi regime became obvious towards the end of the 1990s, leading to the institute carrying out provenance research on the collection.After Salzburg researcher and historian Susanne Rolinek identified in 2009 that the painting was without doubt stolen artwork, the museum set about returning the piece to it’s rightful owner.

Viktor Zuckerhandl was a wealthy Austrian Jew who liked to buy art. When he and his wife died childless, his collection went to his sister, Amalie. Redlich and her daughter, Mathilde, were deported to Lodz, Poland, in 1941 and presumed executed. Mathilde's husband and son, Georges, had fled Vienna in 1938. When they returned after the war, all of Redlich's paintings were gone. The painting was purchased by an art collector in Salzburg; it was later traded to the Salzburg state gallery, and in 1952 joined the inventory of the Salzburg Modern Art Museum. Government officials will decide in July whether to follow a recommendation that the art be returned to its rightful owner. (English)

Over 70 years after its confiscation by the Nazi authorities, the present pastel by Berthe Morisot was returned to the beneficiaries David and Flora David-Weill on April the 27th 2016, ratifying the resolution adopted by the Salzburg Landesregierung in Austria on April 8th 2015.Kept until then in the Museum der Moderne Salzburg, doubts were expressed as to the work’s provenance in 2009 and the conditions in which it entered the museum’s collections. Research undertaken conjointly by Elizabeth Royer-Grimblat and Suzanne Rolinek showed that it was one of the works looted in France from the David-Weill family by the Nazi authorities on July 21st 1943 and whose localisation was not identified. This research was thus able to establish that this pastel, which seemed to have disappeared for over three decades, had in fact reappeared in 1977 in an auction in Vienna at the Dorotheum where it was purchased by Friedrich Welz for 46 144 shillings for the account of the Moderne Galerie und Graphische Sammlung Rupertinum. Since 2003, the work has been a part of the collections of the Museum der Moderne Salzburg. (English)
